[LLVMdev] build error on libLLVMSystem.a without any useful error message

[Nicolas Raynaud]

Thanks for your help Dale,

I got a little bit more clue (in snipped the begining the build messages) :

ar cru /Users/nraynaud/Desktop/geek/llvm-svn/build/Debug/lib/libLLVMSystem.a
/Users/nraynaud/Desktop/geek/llvm-svn/build/lib/System/Debug/Alarm.o
/Users/nraynaud/Desktop/geek/llvm-svn/build/lib/System/Debug/Disassembler.o
/Users/nraynaud/Desktop/geek/llvm-svn/build/lib/System/Debug/DynamicLibrary.o
/Users/nraynaud/Desktop/geek/llvm-svn/build/lib/System/Debug/Host.o
/Users/nraynaud/Desktop/geek/llvm-svn/build/lib/System/Debug/IncludeFile.o
/Users/nraynaud/Desktop/geek/llvm-svn/build/lib/System/Debug/Memory.o
/Users/nraynaud/Desktop/geek/llvm-svn/build/lib/System/Debug/Mutex.o
/Users/nraynaud/Desktop/geek/llvm-svn/build/lib/System/Debug/Path.o
/Users/nraynaud/Desktop/geek/llvm-svn/build/lib/System/Debug/Process.o
/Users/nraynaud/Desktop/geek/llvm-svn/build/lib/System/Debug/Program.o
/Users/nraynaud/Desktop/geek/llvm-svn/build/lib/System/Debug/Signals.o
/Users/nraynaud/Desktop/geek/llvm-svn/build/lib/System/Debug/TimeValue.o
ar: /Users/nraynaud/Desktop/geek/llvm-svn/build/Debug/lib/libLLVMSystem.a:
Opération invalide
make[1]: *** [/Users/nraynaud/Desktop/geek/llvm-svn/build/Debug/lib/libLLVMSystem.a]
Error 1
make: *** [all] Error 1

it looks like ar did an invalid operation (I suppose it got killed by a signal).

I don't know what to do to diagnostic this.

here is the ar version string for ar, is this what's expected ?
nraynaud at macaron-2:~/Desktop/geek/llvm-svn/build$ ar --version
GNU ar (GNU Binutils) 2.19

Nico.
