title: creating .lib file in Visual Studio
body: <p>I feel like an idiot asking such a basic question but for the life of me, I can't find much on this topic.</p>
  
  <p>Anyway, how does one go about making a .lib file using Visual Studio (or whatever tool)?</p>
  
  <p>Let's say I have a project or work space with one .cpp file and .obj in it.</p>
  
  <p>TIA, Mike</p>
