It needs to be an absolute path.
env AR=/path/to/xiar ./configure ...
Or alternatively do it at build time, in which case it can be anywhere in 
your path.

make AR=xiar install

[squid-users] Can't set AR with Squid's configure?

[Steve Snyder]

I'm running Squid v2.5S8 on a Linux (Fedora Core 2) box.  It seems that I 
can't get configure to, ahem, configure the library manager.

If I do:

  AR=xiar ./configure --set-some-squid-options-here

or

  export AR=xiar
  ./configure --set-some-squid-options-here

I find that configure always selects /usr/bin/ar as the value to assign to 
the AR variable, then it creates makefiles that use /usr/bin/ar at build 
time.

Configure does respect my setting of CC=mycompiler, but seems resistant to 
letting me specify the value of AR.

How can I persuade configure to use the specified library manager?

Thanks.
