It takes multiple .o files and creates a single .a file suitable for latter linking as a static library. You will need it to compile nearly anything. Check your paths to ensure the path to 'ar' is included properly. -Chris -- \\\|||/// \ StarNet Inc. \ Chris Parker \ ~ ~ / \ WX *is* Wireless!\ Director, Engineering | @ @ |\ http://www.starnetwx.net \ (847) 963-0116 oOo---(_)---oOo--\-- \ Wholesale Internet Services - http://www.megapop.net - List info/subscribe/unsubscribe?

RE: What is 'ar' in 'MAKE INSTALL'
Probably your 'ar' is not in the PATH environment variable 'ar' could be (at least in Solaris) in /usr/ccs/bin directory You can check it by command: 'find / -name ar' Check what is in PATH: 'echo $PATH' If you don't find the ar_directory then: PATH=$PATH:/ar_directory export PATH MM -Original Message- From: Artur Hecker [mailto:hecker@;enst.fr] Sent: Friday, October 18, 2002 6:40 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: What is 'ar' in 'MAKE INSTALL' hi ar produces an archive file out of some other files. it is usally used today to make static libraries, so a usual libsomething.a is nothing but a collection of object files, something1.o, something2.o in an ar-archive. cru: c - create, r - insert with replacement, u - only newer.

What is 'ar' in 'MAKE INSTALL'
When running 'make install', it appears that right after the 'libtool mode=link' command runs, it tries to run something called 'ar' with arguments of 'cru' and a bunch of the object modules - except that libtool thinks it is an argument to libtool. I am sure that this is just ignorance on my part, but what is 'ar'. I have done lots of development on non-unix platforms, but am kinda new in this area. THANKS!
