library generation error

[C . J . Collier]

I don't know whether this is the right list to send this issue to.  If 
not, please advise.

The Makefile.am file that I'm using to generate an archive library for 
a project I'm working on looks like this:

---

AM_CXXFLAGS = -I$(top_srcdir) -I.

lib_LIBRARIES = libflarray.a
libflarray_a_SOURCES =
        FLArray.cc \
        FLArray.hh \
        FLSorted.cc \
        FLSorted.hh

---

The output from make clean ; make in this directory after the Makefile 
has been generated is this:

---

steely:~/src/paul/cvs/cbrc/C++/utils/FLArray cjcollier$ make clean
test -z "libflarray.a" || rm -f libflarray.a
rm -f *.o core *.core
steely:~/src/paul/cvs/cbrc/C++/utils/FLArray cjcollier$ make
if g++ -DPACKAGE_NAME=\"\" -DPACKAGE_TARNAME=\"\" 
-DPACKAGE_VERSION=\"\" -DPACKAGE_STRING=\"\" -DPACKAGE_BUGREPORT=\"\"

FLArray.o -MD -MP -MF ".deps/FLArray.Tpo" \
  -c -o FLArray.o `test -f 'FLArray.cc' || echo './'`FLArray.cc; \
then mv -f ".deps/FLArray.Tpo" ".deps/FLArray.Po"; \
else rm -f ".deps/FLArray.Tpo"; exit 1; \
fi
if g++ -DPACKAGE_NAME=\"\" -DPACKAGE_TARNAME=\"\"

then mv -f ".deps/FLSorted.Tpo" ".deps/FLSorted.Po"; \
else rm -f ".deps/FLSorted.Tpo"; exit 1; \
fi
rm -f libflarray.a
ar cru libflarray.a FLArray.o FLSorted.o
ranlib libflarray.a
ranlib: warning for library: libflarray.a the table of contents is 
empty (no object file members in the library define global symbols)

---

And when I try to link against that .a file, I get this error:

---

steely:~/src/paul/cvs/cbrc/C++/classifiers/learnedWeightKNN/test 
cjcollier$ make
g++ -I../../.. -I. -g -O2   -o PSORT+WoLFpredictForCJ  
PSORT+WoLFpredictForCJ.o ../../../utils/FLArray/libflarray.a 
../../../utils/perlish/libperlish.a 
../../../classifiers/libclassifiers.a 
../../../classifiers/learnedWeightKNN/liblearnedWeightKNN.a
ld: warning empty table of contents: 
../../../utils/FLArray/libflarray.a (can't load from it)

---

Can someone help me figure out how to generate a good archive library?  
I'm new to this.

Thanks in advance.

C.J.
