Oops, that should be: otool -av liblua.a


Great! thanks for that. So, here's my archive list from the Terminal:

-rw-r--r--   1 root  staff  567192 May  1 11:44 liblua.a

Archive : liblua.a
-rw-r--r--  0/0    5752 Mon May  1 15:54:23 2006 __.SYMDEF

The SYMDEF has a date _later_ than the archive file date.  Yet, I'm
still getting the ranlib runaround from xcode/gcc.  Does this look
right? I think it does.

This looks fine to me too. The only option left is Jonas' wrong liblua
being found by the linker one. Try adding the full path to the installed
liblua.a to the link instead of -llua. I'm sorry, I'm sure that there's
some way to do this in xcode, but I don't know what it is.


You could also try from the command line to make sure that something
totally screwy isn't going on:
cc -o foo /usr/local/lib/liblua.a
should complain about missing _main rather than out-of-date Table of
contents.

I just tried this, and it seems to be a good test.

If I "cp" any old .a to a local directory, and compile "helloworld.c":

  cc -o helloworld helloworld.c libwhatever.a

then I get the "out of date" complaint from 'ld'. Once I run ranlib on the local copy of the .a, I get no complaint.

This may also indicate whether your Xcode build is picking up the wrong .a.

Another possible explanation [it just occurred to me] of your (Wesley's) squirrelly 'ranlib'/'ld' behavior is that you are using a network file system that is slightly out of sync with your local system. I have seen such problems before. If your install copies between local and networked file systems, time skew might be the explanation.

Cheers,

Justin
