I am setting up an automated build system for my company. In building some
of our base libraries on Windows I am running into major issues. I am using
the Visual Studio tools (cl.exe) to do the compilation which is working
fine. I run into problems though when trying to generate a library that
links together several sub libraries. I have tried to do this several ways,
first using AR set to the default ar.exe and with AR set to lib.exe.

Leaving it default I get the following errors:
libtool: link: (cd .libs/libs3decoder.lax/libam.lib && ar x
"/cygdrive/c/projects/sphinx/sphinx3-0.7/src/libs3decoder/libam/.libs/libam.
lib")
.libs/s2_semi_mgau.obj: No such file or directory


Using lib.exe I get the following errors:
libtool: link: (cd .libs/libs3decoder.lax/libam.lib && lib.exe /nologo x
"/cygdrive/c/projects/sphinx/sphinx3-0.7/src/libs3decoder/libam/.libs/libam.
lib")
LIB : warning LNK4044: unrecognized option
'/cygdrive/c/projects/sphinx/sphinx3-0.7/src/libs3decoder/libam/.libs/libam.
lib'; ignored
LIB : fatal error LNK1181: cannot open input file 'x'

It appears that the X option and the POSIX path is confusing lib.exe. I
cannot find where to get rid of the x option or insert CYGPATH_W into the
AR_FLAGS command.

I cannot seem to find good information on the web concerning this. The build
script runs fine on Linux. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
