It is already the case. The Makefile defaults to "ar" and does not even contain any mention of "gar". The configure script checks for both: configure.ac:AC_CHECK_TOOLS(AR, [gar ar], :) My guess is that you ran the configure script on a machine where gar is present, and then used the result on a machine where it isn't. Normally, at configure time you should see this: checking for ar... ar You actually don't need to run the configure script, the Makefile runs fine without it. Delete config.mak.autogen to cancel the effect of ./configure. -- Matthieu Moy http://www-verimag.imag.fr/~moy/ -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
