Hammer out a sample program on your favorite editor (Vim) and name it main.c or something.
Compile the code. This should produce an object file in your working directory called main.o.
Link the object file to produce an executable, a.out. Here, the -L flag provides the path to the library, and the -l flag provides the name of the library that you’d like to link.
