Okay, in the case of static libraries, cygwin is unix-like: statlibs end
in .a and are traditional archives (built using 'ar [options] name
objs....'
To link, you use -L$(PATH) -lname, where the library is called:
lib{name}.a
(actually, there is a complicated precedence order having to do with dll
import libs, static libs, and 'direct-to-dll' linking, but we won't get
into that here)
