As far as I know if you have a static library archive named

libLibrary.a

In a path

/my/lib/dir/

You should get a go with

gcc -L/my/lib/dir -lLibrary $(OBJECT_FILES) -o Result

There is no way to collect object files this way, but there are methods for 
Make to collect all object files in a given directory:

OBJECTS_FILES:= $(wildcard PATH/*.o)

You can even do $(wildcard P/*/*.o) to find

P/a/abc.o P/a/cde.o P/b/abc.o P/c/xyz.o

where P/a, P/b and P/c are some object directories in a parent directory P.

I think that should be enough to get you through.
