Creating Static library using GCC

Question

When I am compiling code using GCC, it is giving two outputs .o and .d file. While creating library(.a) do I need to add(.d) files also. If yes then how?

gcc usually gives only one output .o. You agglomerate these with ar — Basile Starynkevitch

No you only need to add the .o file, a static library archive is just a collection of .o files.

The .d file is a makefile fragment for specifying the dependencies used to build the object file, and is only needed when you are compiling the .o file itself.
