build - How to link to a static library in C?

Question

I use code::blocks to compile my static library. The output result is a libstatic.a file. Now, how do I link to my library to use functions that were compiled?

(I tried to use #include "libstatic.a" but my project doesn't compile)

Answer 1

cc -o yourprog yourprog.c -lstatic

or

cc -o yourprog yourprog.c libstatic.a
