Sorry if this has been asked before.  I can't seem to find
the mailing list archives on delorie.com.

When I compile objects with djgpp gcc and run ar to create
a library, I get the following error:

C:/DJGPP/BIN/AR.EXE @project/lib/libproj.ac
c:/djgpp/bin/ar.exe project/lib/libproj.ac: Invalid bfd target

I'm running this inside standard GNU make 3.81 (NOT djgpp make!).
Therefore I create the file project/lib/libproj.ac manually
during the build.

If I run the command in a cygwin shell, I get the following:

$ C:/DJGPP/BIN/AR.EXE @project/lib/libproj.ac
c:/djgpp/bin/ar.exe: creating project/lib/libproj.a
c:/djgpp/bin/ar.exe: project/lib/libproj.a: No such file or directory 
(ENOENT)

However:

$ ls project/lib/libproj.a
project/lib/libproj.a

This is on a Windows XP machine.

project/lib/libproj.ac:

r project/lib/libproj.a project/lib/a.o project/lib/b.o project/lib/c.o

Any ideas about what's going on and how to fix it?

Thanks.
