It's as simple as putting something like

OBJECTS=feature1.o feature2.o feature3.o
libfoo.a($(OBJECTS)) : $(OBJECTS)

into your Makefile. Make's implicit rules will take care of everything.

You've been directed to <news:gnu.gcc.helpbut you will probably get
an answer faster in <news:comp.unix.programmer>. The gcc group is
more directed to the compiler itself and making a library uses other
tools which, though part of the gcc "tool chain", are really general
Unix/Linux tools.

How can it be off topic when C programmers using all sorts of platforms
contribute here? I can think of no better place to get a "generic"
answer more likely to lead to portable makefiles.

As indeed he did.

And putting <offtopicin a 4 line reply is childish to the extreme.

You expected anything else form vippstar?

BTW, I noticed some more obvious brown-nosing by vippy in another thread.
One way to get in with the regs is to intentionally post something that is
"wrong", then, when corrected by a regular, be oh-so-grateful for the
correction. They love that sort of thing...

Yup. Already noted. I had vippstar tagged as a clc "reg" wannabe a while
back as soon as he started with the "Mr" bit and saying "indeed" a bit
too frequently.

Actually, as the good Mr. Heathfield has pointed out, you will get the
best and fastest answer just by doing a little googling. This sort of
question is easier answered by "the web" than by "the Usenet".

Yes.

It's just a single word, but there's everything you could ever need to
know about CBF in that post.
