Instead of adding all the .cpp files...

One more little addon...

I can easily just add Rawloader.cpp to the main project where its actually used but due to all the functions i'll be implementing, doing a Build All would be very very lengthy and inappropriate, so a .a sounds like the best thing to do but its not working either =(

I had a similar problem...
If you compile the project the compiler creates an .o file for each cpp file...
you can simply copy the .o file of the cpp you want and rename it to .a (not really necessary)...
Then you remove the cpp file from the project and link to the .a (.o) file !!!
But you still have to include the .h that belongs to the cpp file, so don't do any public declarations inside the cpp, do it only in the .h file or you don't have access to them !!!

but you'll have to link to each .a seperately? (its no problem, just wondering)

Nevermind, it doesn't matter because it also gets the same linker errors as if I used my own made .a...

You'll never guess how I fixed it..

I put the opengl libs after the lib that contained my raw loader. Now I'm contemplating how bad its going to hurt to crush my monitor with my face -.-
