You're getting the message because you copied the lib*.a files, so their creation dates are later than the date hidden in the library. The simple solution (according to a friend, I haven't tried this yet) is as follows: 1. use ar to dump the ranlib to find its idea of its date. ar t libc.a or ar tv libc.a should work. 2. set your system date to one minute earlier than that date/time. 3. "touch" the file. Thus, some variation of the following should work: ar tv libc.a date 8411061234 touch libc.a Check the Mark Williams documentation for the exact sequences. Martin Minow decvax!minow
