Question about static libraries

Started by
6 comments, last by guywithknife 20 years, 8 months ago
Is it possible to link static libraries into another static library? For example, say my program required a.a (or a.lib, whatever), b.a and c.a Could I compile them all into another static library (say d.a) and then only have to link that? Thanks.

Oh yeah, thanks.
I meant i dont have the manpage, but I''ll figure out how to use it, there must be docs for it. If not ill just have to check the MingW website.

Thanks again.
