Easiest way: get RHIDE.

Then, make your library like this: make a new project. Change the
targetname from ending in .exe to ending in .a. Then, put all the routines
that every part of the library will need in one .c file, write the rest in
a modular fashion in other .c files. Compile and link, and debug, and
debug, and debug...

.a files are Archives made by "ar". They have a bunch of .o files, which
are linked in only as needed by ld. You will probably want your library to
have a name like libxxxxx.a; then you can put it in %DJDIR%/lib and link
it with the gcc command -lxxxxx.
