I am setting up an automated build system for my company. In building some of our base libraries on Windows I am running into major issues. I am using the Visual Studio tools (cl.exe) to do the compilation which is working fine. I run into problems though when trying to generate a library that links together several sub libraries. I have tried to do this several ways, first using AR set to the default ar.exe and with AR set to lib.exe.
Leaving it default I get the following errors: libtool: link: (cd .libs/libs3decoder.lax/libam.lib && ar x "/cygdrive/c/projects/sphinx/sphinx3-0.7/src/libs3decoder/libam/.libs/libam. lib") .libs/s2_semi_mgau.obj: No such file or directory Using lib.exe I get the following errors: libtool: link: (cd .libs/libs3decoder.lax/libam.lib && lib.exe /nologo x "/cygdrive/c/projects/sphinx/sphinx3-0.7/src/libs3decoder/libam/.libs/libam. lib") LIB : warning LNK4044: unrecognized option '/cygdrive/c/projects/sphinx/sphinx3-0.7/src/libs3decoder/libam/.libs/libam. lib'; ignored LIB : fatal error LNK1181: cannot open input file 'x' It appears that the X option and the POSIX path is confusing lib.exe. I cannot find where to get rid of the x option or insert CYGPATH_W into the AR_FLAGS command. I cannot seem to find good information on the web concerning this. The build script runs fine on Linux. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
