   Hi there:

	   I was reading the docs until i couldn't do it more and i
   didn't found how to build a library. I saw something like the "ar"
   program but i'm not sure.

	   Also it's very important for me to have one library with a non
   standard "lib----.a" name, for example i want to link a library called
   "mylib.lib". How i can do this from rhide and from the command line?

I noticed a reply to most of your message so I will not repeat.  I
know of no good reason to name a library anything other than
lib-----.a, however, as long as you are willing to have the entire
contents of your library included in your executable you can use the
non-standard name without the '-l' flag, thus:

	gcc -o myexec mymain.o myobj.o mylib.lib

This should work.
