I have around 80 static libraries. I would like to create one static library from that.
This answer didn't work for me since I get the following error:
libtool: unrecognized option `-static'
I am also confused as to which mode it needs to be done in. Is it "link" or "install" Since there 20 odd libraries, can I also use "*" to specify all?
I didn't find any information in document expect this which doesn't really answer my question.
FYI..These are the modes:
MODE must be one of the following:
clean remove files from the build directory
compile compile a source file into a libtool object
execute automatically set library path, then run a program
finish complete the installation of libtool libraries
install install libraries or executables
link create a library or an executable
uninstall remove libraries from an installed directory
I'm probably naively ignoring some consequence, but couldn't you just treat the files directly as archives?
for i in *.a; ar x $i; done
ar r libfoo.a *.o
ranlib libfoo.a
Of course, you'll need some kind of renaming scheme if any of the .o
files are the same. Probably something like libname_objectname.o
