Well, I don't claim to be a CW expert, but I just created a lib from the
survival project libs, and this is what I did:
Create a new project, picking  NY C as the template.
(I assume this creates a project base that has all the right stuff set
for NY)
Under the files, add the c files using Project/Add files that make up
the lib
Under the target settings tab, pick Target /MIPS Project/  set project
type to Library
Set the file name to xxxxx.lib
However, I'm not entirely sure how you set the start address. I don't
think this should matter, as when the lib is linked into a project, that
project should set the start address and the lib routine will be placed
in the executable by the linker (that is speculation - I donut have my
NY here so I can't confirm that it worked - I was however ever able to
build survival after deleting all the libxxx.c file an adding the lib I
built as above).
Note that I couldn't find and specific mention of this procedure in the
docs (doesn't mean it's not there, just means I couldn't find it!).
Also, if I was cleaver, I think you could have added this as a
sub-project, but if your bothering to create a lib, you probably want a
separate project, as the purpose of a lib is to reuse the code.
