How to use a static library in g++
Hello, Im new to c++ and wanted to make a project from scratch, so far I understand how to compile multiple .cpp files using g++ (and visual studio code). The only thing that gives me a headache is trying to include open source libraries into my project, basically i want to use Cryptopp library (https://github.com/weidai11/cryptopp).
