Basically it is some object files dumped into one file and a
header prepended. The idea is that most OSs have large overhead
opening many small files, so it is faster to open one big
file and gather the information in one file.

If I have libname.a:
gcc -Lpath/to/my/library -o my.exe mysrc.c -lname
As you put commandlines into makefiles, it is same there.
In Rhide: (this is by heart, so don't beat me...)
Options|Directories|Libraries: Enter path/to/my/library
Project|Libraries: Enter name

Command line: Check the info file for the binutils, ar.exe
RHIDE:
Project|Main Targetname: libname.a
