Has anyone successfully build libraries with the Gnu archiver "gcc-ar" under Minix-ST ? Mine blows up when I try the 'standard' ways: gcc-ar r libc.a objects... gcc-ar c libc.a objects... gcc-ar rc libc.a objects... It says something about illegal arguments. Any ideas ?

As its loader directly reads libc.a, it knows the ar format and __.SYMDEF. The GNU ar file format is somewhat different from the Minix ar file format (merely the ASCII type of header), so I also use GNU ar. Some changes were necessary. To use the `ranlib' feature, ar must be able to read the symbol table of object files, so it needs a.out.h. I provided it with a Sun compatible a.out.h, because the `.o' files of Minix-Sparc are in GNU (=SunOS) format. Furthermore, I defined USG. I compiled it with the GNU C-compiler under Minix on a SparcStation 1 and it works! Adrie Koolen (adrie@ica.philips.nl) Philips Innovation Centre Aachen

gcc-ar rs libc.a file ....
The s flag means: create SYMDEF header. But: the 1.36 gcc-ar didn't work
together with 1.5.10 ST. There are incompatible open() FLAGS (at least).
So you have to recompile gcc-ar with the new library first before you can
create the library.. .Ha H I recompiled open f,pen ,..,ansferred the
objects to TOS and replaced the gcc-minix-library there. Then I recom-
piled minix gcc-ar with this updated (half-functioning) library, made
the new libc.a's andcompiled gcc-ar again. BTW: gcc-ar.c needs a com-
piler with 32-Bit int's. So don't even try it with ACK.
