How are c libraries archived?

An attempt yielded the following results:

Two c source code files were compiled using:
    gcc -shared -o libxxx.a source.c

The files that were output were archived using:
    ar rus libcombined.so list-of-the-two-files

Another c source code file with a main function was compiled using:
    gcc -o product -L. main.c -lcombined

The "product" executable was successfully output, but when it was run, the following error message was shown:
    product: error in loading shared libraries: libxxx.a: cannot open shared object file

 

Glad you are there,
