How can we create, distribute and use binary only libraries for LPCXpresso, like i2c_display_lib?

In the first place, read:

Once you have a working library archive, you may wish to strip the debug information from it before distribution. This can be done in one of the following ways:

[list]
[*]Right click on the library in Project Explorer and select Binary utilities->Strip debug symbols
[*]Run the following command from a command prompt (or as a post build step):
[list]
[*]arm-none-eabi-objcopy -g liblibraryname.a
[/list]
[/list]

Thanks for quick response.

A tiny add: Right click on the library in Project Explorer doesn't show Binary Utilities menu entry. Instead right clicks on liblibraryname.a in Debug and Release do.
