What are the steps to compile it?

You can use a compiler like g++. For a static library, use g++ -c yourfile.cpp to compile, then ar rcs libyourlib.a yourfile.o to create the library.

How do I link this library to my project?

To link the library, use g++ yourproject.cpp -L. -lyourlib where -L. specifies the library path and -lyourlib is the library name.

Can I use CMake for this?

Yes, CMake is a great tool for managing builds. You can create a CMakeLists.txt file to define your library and its dependencies.
