Compile your file with `gcc -c file.cc', then use the program called `ar',
like this: 

	ar rvs libmylib.a file.o

You can then link against this library like this:

	gcc main.c sub.c -o myprog -lmylib

Note that your library name *must* begin with `lib' for the linker to 
find it when you use -l switch.
