How handle static libraries?

[Bo Do]

Thank you Lyle for clearing things up. =)
I'll take a look at .la stuff.

Thanks everyone for pointing me in the right direction.

Bo,

Basically, the common way to do it is the way you're doing it.  If C
uses A and you use C, you link to both C and A (in that order).
Something you might look at, however, is .la files (usually created by
libtool, I believe).  These are information files that the
compiler/linker can use to know how to use a given library.  It may also
be able to tell the compiler what libraries your library depends on so
that it can link them in automatically.  Now, I'm not very familiar with
these files and how they work, but it might be something you would want
to look into.  You may find your answer there.

Good luck,
Lyle

My question in this post is actually: What is the common way to
handle/create
static libraries which uses other libraries?

Thanks for reading this post. Don't know if it makes sense! =)
