Including a static library in makefile - makefile

Question

I have a directory structure
trunk
--lib--libParser.a
--objs
--src
--Makefile
I have the following makefile
CRYPTOLIB_TARGET = cryptolib.a
LOCALLIBS = ./objs
LOCALLIBS_IMAGE = ./cryptolib.a
CC = gcc
AR = ar
DEBUG_FLAGS =
LDEFSECOM_LOG_VERSION = -DSECOM_LOG_VERSION
CMPL_TIME_MACROS = -DENBL_DEBUG_PRINTF $(LDEFSECOM_LOG_VERSION)
ALLWARN =
ALL_INCS = -I./src/INCLUDE
LIBS = -lrt -laio -lrt -lpthread -lm -lpq -ldl
LINK = $(CC) $(DEBUG_FLAGS) $(CMPL_TIME_MACROS) $(ALLWARN) $(ALL_INCS) $(LIBS) -c
default = CRYPTOLIB_TARGET
CRYPTOLIB_OBJ = \
$(LOCALLIBS)/AES_crypt.o \
$(LOCALLIBS)/bigdigits.o \
$(LOCALLIBS)/DataEncryption.o \
$(LOCALLIBS)/SiaEncryption.o
$(CRYPTOLIB_TARGET): $(CRYPTOLIB_OBJ)
$(AR) r $(CRYPTOLIB_TARGET) $(CRYPTOLIB_OBJ)
$(LOCALLIBS)/AES_crypt.o : \
src/AES_crypt.c
mkdir -p ./objs
$(LINK) src/AES_crypt.c -o $(LOCALLIBS)/AES_crypt.o
$(LOCALLIBS)/bigdigits.o : \
src/bigdigits.c
$(LINK) src/bigdigits.c -o $(LOCALLIBS)/bigdigits.o
$(LOCALLIBS)/DataEncryption.o : \
src/DataEncryption.c
$(LINK) src/DataEncryption.c -o $(LOCALLIBS)/DataEncryption.o
$(LOCALLIBS)/SiaEncryption.o : \
src/SiaEncryption.c
$(LINK) src/SiaEncryption.c -o $(LOCALLIBS)/SiaEncryption.o
clean:
rm -rf objs
rm -rf cryptolib.a
I want to include the libParser.a in the output library which I am creating but I am not sure how to do that. Can you please give me the pointers to so that I can include the library(libParser.a) and create cryptolib.a as a final output library.

Answer 1

from gcc online docs:
-llibrary
-l library
...(text removed)...
Normally the files found this way are library files—archive files
whose members are object files. The linker handles an archive file by
scanning through it for members which define symbols that have so far
been referenced but not defined. But if the file that is found is an
ordinary object file, it is linked in the usual fashion. The only
difference between using an -l option and specifying a file name is
that -l surrounds library with ‘lib’ and ‘.a’ and searches several
directories.
So... you could specify the library include folder:
-L./lib
and put the libParser.a in the list of libraries (subracting 'lib' and '.a'):
-lParser -lrt -laio ...
