    static library

    I just had a quick question to confirm. If i had created a static library one that ends with .a then when i load the library in the compiler syntax with -g mylib.a with my main code shouldn't the main code be able to locate the header thats a a header for one of the files in the static library?

    No, not automatically. You need to pass the location of this header file using the -I option (assuming you are using gcc).
