would go off without a hitch… Any takers??
While trying to port some software, the Makefile looks for a program called ‘ranlib’ and dies when it can’t find it. What is it and where can I get it. ‘ranlib’ is a program that increases the efficiency of accessing and using archives (*.a files). A/UX’s ‘ar’ already does this, so it isn’t needed. To get around this, do something like ln /bin/true /bin/ranlib. You could also use ‘/bin/touch’ but the above will (hopefully) take care of cases when ranlib is called with options. If you want to put ‘ranlib’ somewhere else, then that’s OK. If the location is a different file system, then you’ll need to use a symbolic link: ln -s /bin/true /usr2/local/bin/ranlib When compiling, I get the message that ‘setlocale’ is an “undefined symbol”…
