Problems with cvs-libtool and Solaris CC

[Erik Assum]

Hi,

I'm resending this message to the libtool list as I sent it directly
to Robert without realising that Reply-To: wasn't set.

Thanks alot Robert, this solved the most important part of my problem,
since I wasn't using cvs libtool.

It worked really well when running ./configure --disable-static, but
when running ./configure && make (thus --enable-static) AR (in this
case

# The archiver.
AR="/opt/SUNWspro/bin/CC -xar"
AR_FLAGS="-o"

complains on the 'x' when the line 
$run eval "(cd \$xdir && $AR x \$xabs)" || exit $?
from the code below is run. Is this a but or a feature?

        if test -n "$convenience"; then
          if test -n "$whole_archive_flag_spec"; then
            save_libobjs=$libobjs
            eval libobjs=\"\$libobjs $whole_archive_flag_spec\"
          else
            gentop="$output_objdir/${outputname}x"
            $show "${rm}r $gentop"
            $run ${rm}r "$gentop"
            $show "$mkdir $gentop"
            $run $mkdir "$gentop"
            status=$?
            if test "$status" -ne 0 && test ! -d "$gentop"; then
              exit $status
            fi
            generated="$generated $gentop"

            for xlib in $convenience; do
              # Extract the objects.
              case $xlib in
              [\\/]* | [A-Za-z]:[\\/]*) xabs="$xlib" ;;
              *) xabs=`pwd`"/$xlib" ;;
              esac
              xlib=`$echo "X$xlib" | $Xsed -e 's%^.*/%%'`
              xdir="$gentop/$xlib"

              $show "${rm}r $xdir"
              $run ${rm}r "$xdir"
              $show "$mkdir $xdir"
              $run $mkdir "$xdir"
              status=$?
              if test "$status" -ne 0 && test ! -d "$xdir"; then
                exit $status
              fi
              $show "(cd $xdir && $AR x $xabs)"
              $run eval "(cd \$xdir && $AR x \$xabs)" || exit $?

              libobjs="$libobjs "`find $xdir -name \*.$objext -print -o -name 
\*.lo -print | $NL2SP`
            done
          fi
