How to compile native C codes to a library for iOS development in XCode

For iOS development, sometimes you want to use a existed native C codes for help. Objective
a superset of C so its easy to combine C codes in your Objective
it only support compiling C code to a static lib
In this tutorial, I take an open source project
demo how to compile it into a static library in Xcode.

Environments

7. Now you can copy the public header files and static library to the next project you want to use it.
Notes:
1. Only static library(product will be the .a format) support for iOS
2. The compiled library
