I've been using DJGPP to help me learn platform independent C++ (or as
close as I can get it anyway).

I've recently created a simple parse class (C++) that I want to
distribute as a library (mainly so that I can learn how to create
libraries and distribute them).  After talking to a few friends, I've
determined that what I want to do is compile my code to a .lib file
and then distribute it along with the .h header file.  But since none
of them know DJGPP, they can't tell me exactly how to do that.

I've been poring over the command-line documentation (what I can find,
anyway), but I can't seem to find what I'm looking for.  Can somebody
tell me what I need to do or at least point me in the right direction
where I can find some information on this?

Learning C++ is time consuming enough, but trying to learn how to use
compilers often seems like a daunting task.  (The bulk of my
programming experience is with all-in-one development enviroments.)
