How to Make Archive

[Ajay Jain]

Hi,

I am facing some issues while making an archive. I have an exhaustive
build system consisting of various modules and sub-modules. In one
common rules file, I have defined a rule as :

%.o : %.c
    @$(ECHO) "\nCOMPILING $< \n"
    $(CC) $(CFLAGS) -c $< -o $@

This helps me to make .o. Now I have to archive my .o files.

%.a : ALL OBJECT FILES
    @$(ECHO) "\nBUILDING $@ \n"
    $(AR) $(ARFLAGS) $@ $^

Any clue? What GENERAL rule can I write? Please note that I have to
write my own rule.

Regards,
Ajay.
