compile mygraphics.c to mygraphics.o as usual
then: ar rcus libgraph.a mygraphics.o

You can add more than one .o file on the same command line (~16kB worth,
depending on the transfer buffer size)

ar is the archive command

r - * replaice
c - create (don't warn if the .a file doesn't exist)
u - update (will only new/modified files)
s - * create symbol table

* important though s can be done in a separate step using ranlib
