[jira] Closed: (STDCXX-116) [Mac OS X 10.2.8] Examples fail to build due to LD error

Andrew Black closed STDCXX-116.
-------------------------------

    Resolution: Won't Fix

Testing with Darwin 8.10.1 (Mac OS X 10.4.10) and GCC 4.2.0 fails to reproduce this issue.

Given that this issue was reported with an antiquated version of the operating system and compiler in question, I am closing this issue as 'Won't Fix'.

> When attempting to build the examples as part of the make sequence, I recieve the following messages
> gcc -c -I/Volumes/Orion/Work/stdcxx/include/ansi   -D_RWSTD_USE_CONFIG -I/Users/blackaw/Documents/Work/stdcxx//include -I/Volumes/Orion/Work/stdcxx/include -I/Volumes/Orion/Work/stdcxx/examples/include  -pedantic -nostdinc++  -W -Wall -Wcast-qual -Winline -Wshadow -Wwrite-strings -Wno-long-long -Wcast-align  /Volumes/Orion/Work/stdcxx/examples/manual/accum.cpp
> gcc accum.o -o accum  -L/Users/blackaw/Documents/Work/stdcxx//lib -lstd  -lsupc++ -lm
> ld: archive: /Users/blackaw/Documents/Work/stdcxx//lib/libstd.a has no table of contents, add one with ranlib(1) (can't load from it)
> make[2]: *** [accum] Error 1
> make[1]: [examples] Error 2 (ignored)
> The obvious solution is to call ranlib as part of the make process for the library, but this would involve altering the make proccess for the config tests, library and test library, along with requiring conditional logic to protect other platforms/compilers from this step that would likely cause problems.
> Looking at the man page for ranlib on my linux box here, it appears that a better solution could be to define ARFLAGS for gcc as being '-s', though I could potentially see problems emerging were this to be an unconditional definition.
> I will try this solution tonight.
