Re: Help with gcc partial link (option -ar)


Hey all,

I looked into it more carefully, and I have been running a "patched" version
of the gcc on the IRIX machine,
in which a call for:

>gcc -ar file1.o file2.o -o output.a

generates an implicit call to 

> ar -rc output.a file1.o file2.o

The fact that the gcc on red-hat did not throw an error on the "-ar"
parameter threw me off-course.
It seems that the problem lies in the tool that links the final outcome.

Thank you all for your help!
