llvm dev - Apr 2009 - [LLVMdev] build error on libLLVMSystem.a without any useful error message

Thanks for your reply,

Perl is implied ???

here is the version :
nraynaud at macaron-2:~/Desktop/geek/fp$ perl --version

This is perl, v5.8.8 built for darwin-thread-multi-2level
(with 2 registered patches, see perl -V for more detail)

the two patches are  :
  Locally applied patches:
	fix for regcomp CVE-2007-5116 security vulnerability
	fix for double-free CVE-2008-1927 security vulnerability

Thanks for your help,

Nico.

I'm not thinking clearly, evidently. 

Looking at the more verbose results

ar cru /Users/nraynaud/Desktop/geek/llvm-svn/build/Debug/lib/libLLVMSystem.a
....

looks wrong, I would have expected

ar -cru /Users/nraynaud/Desktop/geek/llvm-svn/build/Debug/lib/libLLVMSystem.a
....

at that point.

Editing the makefile would get you past that, but the changes would be lost on
reconfiguring.  Actually fixing this would require tweaking configure.ac .

Thanks Kenneth,

but it looks like the problem lies elsewhere :ar -cru

Error 1
make: *** [all] Error 1


Isn't there any mean to get a stacktrace or an error message ?
Something I can diagnose instead of blindly trying things ?

Thanks,

Nico.
