Making Static Library Files

Dear useres,

I want to know how can I make static libraries (lib files) in C/C++ and how can I use them in my projects. I want to export some functions so should I use extern "C" statment for my functions and also any calling convention needed (such as __declspec)???

Thanks,

ALOT of DLL info there.

If you just want to make a library for static linking, that's a little easier.
You'll have to tell us what compiler you are using.
