Re: Makefile error in simple library

You are getting an error message that says that AM_PROG_AR is required
in configure.ac. You have AM_PROG_AR in configure.ac, but it has a "#'
in front of it, which could be why you are still getting this error
message. It's likely that that it is being interpreted as a comment
and not recognized as occurring in the file as it is expected to. Try
removing the "#" character in front of "AM_PROG_AR" to see if you
still get this error message.
