newbie to g++

[address@hidden]

hi i am using g++ on windows and trying to learn c,c++..
i was trying to  make and use user defined libraries and wrote

tom.h
---------
void mylibfn(void);

tom.c
--------
void mylibfn(){
printf("my libfn called!\n");
}

then i made tom.o by
g++ -c tom.c

and using ar qv  libfruit.a tom.o  i created libfruit.a

i wish to call the mylibfn() from another test.c like
test.c
--------
int main(){
mylibfn();
}

how do i compile test.c using g++ ,giving the libfruit.a as argument ?
for the cc compiler it is something like
cc  test.c -lfruit -L/home/sharedlib .. but i am bit confused by g++
options..
can anyone help?
