Underneath Xcode, the gcc/clang compilers and linkers do all of the compiling and linking work. You can compile from the command line (in Terminal) using good ole' gcc or clang, and build archive libraries from the object code using ar, just like any other Unix, Linux, etc., system.

We would like to send them a library (C based), but would prefer not to send them the source for our proprietary library. I have done searches on Google, and can see that it would be possible to create a static library using xcode. However, I'm wondering if there is a way to generate the library without xcode. Is there a way to use a generic gcc compiler to compile a c library so that the output would be acceptable by xcode? If so, what are the right switches for that.
