Hi,<br>  I'm trying to follow the instructions here:<br><a href="http://wiki.scilab.org/Compiling_Scilab_5.x_under_MacOSX">http://wiki.scilab.org/Compiling_Scilab_5.x_under_MacOSX</a><br>to compile Scilab for Mac OS 10.5.  After resolving all the dependencies, I've run into a (hopefully) last problem building a static library:<br>
<br>ar cru .libs/libscilab.a <br>
ar: no archive members specified<br>
usage:  ar -d [-TLsv] archive file ...<br>
<br>A longer trace is below, but can anyone shed some light on this?<br><br>Thanks,<br><br>Eric<br><br><br>gcc -dynamiclib ${wl}-flat_namespace ${wl}-undefined ${wl}suppress -o .libs/libscilab.0.0.0.dylib   -llapack -lblas -L/sw/lib ../modules/mexlib/.libs/libmex.dylib /Developer/Applications/scilab/scilab/modules/dynamic_link/.libs/libscidynamic_link.dylib /Developer/Applications/scilab/scilab/libs/dynamiclibrary/.libs/libscidynamiclibrary.dylib /Developer/Applications/scilab/scilab/modules/data_structures/.libs/libscidata_structures.dylib /Developer/Applications/scilab/scilab/modules/integer/.libs/libsciinteger.dylib /Developer/Applications/scilab/scilab/modules/fileio/.libs/libscifileio.dylib /Developer/Applications/scilab/scilab/libs/libst/.libs/libscilibst.dylib /Developer/Applications/scilab/scilab/modules/string/.libs/libscistring.dylib /sw/lib/libpcreposix.dylib /sw/lib/libpcre.dylib /sw/lib/libbz2.dylib /Developer/Applications/scilab/scilab/modules/elementary_functions/.libs/libscielementary_functions.dylib /Developer/Applications/scilab/scilab/modules/arnoldi/.libs/libsciarnoldi.dylib /Developer/Applications/scilab/scilab/modules/core/.libs/libscicore.dylib /sw/lib/libxml2.dylib /sw/lib/libiconv.dylib /Developer/Applications/scilab/scilab/libs/MALLOC/.libs/libscimalloc.dylib /Developer/Applications/scilab/scilab/modules/output_stream/.libs/libscioutput_stream.dylib ../modules/boolean/.libs/libsciboolean.dylib ../modules/cacsd/.libs/libscicacsd.dylib /Developer/Applications/scilab/scilab/modules/mexlib/.libs/libmx.dylib /Developer/Applications/scilab/scilab/modules/mexlib/.libs/libmat.dylib /Developer/Applications/scilab/scilab/modules/differential_equations/.libs/libscidifferential_equations.dylib /Developer/Applications/scilab/scilab/modules/linear_algebra/.libs/libscilinear_algebra.dylib /Developer/Applications/scilab/scilab/modules/mexlib/.libs/libmex.dylib ../modules/core/.libs/libscicore.dylib ../modules/data_structures/.libs/libscidata_structures.dylib ../modules/differential_equations/.libs/libscidifferential_equations.dylib ../modules/double/.libs/libscidouble.dylib /Developer/Applications/scilab/scilab/modules/boolean/.libs/libsciboolean.dylib /Developer/Applications/scilab/scilab/modules/polynomials/.libs/libscipolynomials.dylib /Developer/Applications/scilab/scilab/modules/cacsd/.libs/libscicacsd.dylib ../modules/elementary_functions/.libs/libscielementary_functions.dylib ../modules/fileio/.libs/libscifileio.dylib ../modules/graphics/.libs/libscigraphics.dylib -L/System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Home/../Libraries -L/System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Home/jre/lib/i386/server -L/usr/lib /sw/lib/libtk8.4.dylib /sw/lib/libtcl8.4.dylib -L/usr/X11/lib /Developer/Applications/scilab/scilab/libs/hashtable/.libs/libscihashtable.dylib /Developer/Applications/scilab/scilab/modules/tclsci/.libs/libscitclsci.dylib /Developer/Applications/scilab/scilab/modules/action_binding/.libs/libsciaction_binding.dylib /Developer/Applications/scilab/scilab/modules/gui/.libs/libscigui.dylib /Developer/Applications/scilab/scilab/modules/renderer/.libs/libscirenderer.dylib /Developer/Applications/scilab/scilab/libs/doublylinkedlist/.libs/libscidoublylinkedlist.dylib ../modules/graphic_export/.libs/libscigraphic_export.dylib ../modules/renderer/.libs/libscirenderer.dylib ../modules/gui/.libs/libscigui.dylib ../modules/integer/.libs/libsciinteger.dylib ../modules/intersci/.libs/libsciintersci.dylib ../modules/io/.libs/libsciio.dylib ../modules/linear_algebra/.libs/libscilinear_algebra.dylib ../modules/localization/.libs/libscilocalization.dylib ../modules/polynomials/.libs/libscipolynomials.dylib ../modules/special_functions/.libs/libscispecial_functions.dylib /Developer/Applications/scilab/scilab/modules/statistics/.libs/libscistatistics.dylib ../modules/time/.libs/libscitime.dylib ../modules/windows_tools/.libs/libsciwindows_tools.dylib ../modules/tclsci/.libs/libscitclsci.dylib ../modules/pvm/.libs/libscipvm.dylib ../modules/sparse/.libs/libscisparse.dylib /Developer/Applications/scilab/scilab/modules/io/.libs/libsciio.dylib ../modules/shell/.libs/libscishell.dylib /sw/lib/libncurses.dylib /Developer/Applications/scilab/scilab/modules/history_manager/.libs/libscihistory_manager.dylib ../modules/console/.libs/libsciconsole.dylib /Developer/Applications/scilab/scilab/modules/shell/.libs/libscishell.dylib ../modules/completion/.libs/libscicompletion.dylib ../modules/history_manager/.libs/libscihistory_manager.dylib ../modules/action_binding/.libs/libsciaction_binding.dylib ../modules/dynamic_link/.libs/libscidynamic_link.dylib ../modules/output_stream/.libs/libscioutput_stream.dylib ../modules/sound/.libs/libscisound.dylib ../modules/helptools/.libs/libscihelptools.dylib /Developer/Applications/scilab/scilab/modules/jvm/.libs/libscijvm.dylib ../modules/matio/.libs/libscimatio.dylib -L/Developer/Applications/scilab/scilab/thirdparty/matio/lib/ ../modules/randlib/.libs/libscirandlib.dylib ../modules/
