Creating XC8 new library in MPLAB X IDE v5.35

Hello everyone. Its my first post on this forum, hope goes well.
I want to know how can I create my own library of functions in MPLAB X IDE v5.35 using xc8 compiler??
I tried the methods given on Microchip Website but they seem to be using older version of MPLab IDE. Command Line method given in XC8 datasheet seems tedious and I cant't work that out. Please some one help me if you know the solution.

    Your post took several days to get approval from the moderator, so upand_at_em added a post to bump your topic up to the top of the list.
    After many years of using XC8, I've never felt the need to try to make my own library file.
    It's far easier to just include common source code files into each project as needed.
    I would imagine it's fairly hard to make a good general purpose library function that will work on all 8 bit parts.

    I agree with ric; it's pretty much pointless to do a library for PIC development.  This is especially true with XC8 since it doesn't compile source files into object files, so there's no real compilation speed improvement with a library.

    Thank you all for your positive feedback.
    Can someone explain how to recompile C18 XLCD library. By default, this library uses PORTB for communication to LCD. If one wants to change port, say PORTD, he needs to recompile the XLCD library, as given in instructions of C18 guide. However all previous post regarding recompiling libraries are not working.
    I am using pic18f4520.
    thanks if anyone can help me out.
    found an old post regarding the issue but can't find the makeplib.bat file:

    You won't find makeplib.bat as the PLIB libaries have not been included with XC8 for several years now, and were only compatible with XC8 v1.x, not 2.x.
     
    If you have the old code, it's just C source. You can edit the code to use any port you want.
    There's several examples of people driving character LCDs from XC8 here:
