    Look up the "ar" command.
    Right 98% of the time, and don't care about the other 3%.

    If I seem grumpy or unhelpful in reply to you, or tell you you need to demonstrate more effort before you can expect help, it is likely you deserve it. Suck it up, Buttercup, and read this, this, and this before posting again.

    Hi,

    Thanks for your reply.But ar will work with .a static libs.I tried it with .so shared objects.It didn't work.

    Ah, sorry. I'm a little tired. .so files are produced with the linker (or with the compiler driver and appropriate options). AFAIK, they need to be built from .o files, and cannot be added to incrementally.
