When we check a .a library out of CVS and try and build the project
with Xcode, we get an error:

ld: table of contents for archive: ../../Openlab 2.x/3rd Party Stuff/
Hasp4/libhasposx.a is out of date; rerun ranlib(1) (can't load from it)


I can run ranlib on this and it works OK - is there any way of
telling the linker to ignore the date mismatch and just get on with
it?

This is mentioned as a known bug in the ranlib man page. We work around
it by copying the .a files and running ranlib on the copies; but we have
a Makefile-based build system, so it is very easy to do there. In
Xcode, you probably have to add a shell script build phase that does
this; if you set the input and output files of the build phase
correctly, it should only kick in when a new version has come in from
CVS.

One thing you could try is to touch of the library to a distant future date (say 2019/01/01) exec the runlib command.
Then reset the date to the original one.
This means that you don't have to exec the ranlib command unitl 2019.


[But it might not work..., i haven't tested yet...]
