Need documentation for 'ar' command's error messages

Need documentation for 'ar' command's error messages

Post by Rajesh Radhakrishna » Sat, 21 Apr 2001 01:20:11



Hi,

I am compiling a big software distribution. The makefile calls the 'ar'
command to create a static library from the .o files. After reading a
bunch of the .o files the 'ar' command terminates with this useless
error message:

ar: writing ../lib/libab.a
internal error: error_message(58)

I am unable to find any information on the man page or on the Net on
what this error means. I am compiling on a Sparc Solaris 7 machine and
using the /usr/ccs/bin/ar command.

Info regd what this error means or pointers to documentation would be
greatly appreciated!

Thanks
Rajesh

If you do not get a response, try comp.unix.solaris.  That group gets
quite a bit of traffic and knowedgable responses.

Good Luck,
