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!
