Hi Dave,

I agree this is a PITA. We use CVS which has the same problem, and we have quite a few libraries in .a format that we do not have the source to. We have ended up using a script build phase that runs ranlib.

I would file this as a bug - I feel there should be an option to ignore the date on .a files (or automatically run ranlib as required). The more people that request this the better!

Cheers,

Steve.

We're developing a game that uses a static library: libsqlite3.a (we can't dynamically link since we run on 10.2.8). We put this file under Subversion version control.

It appears that any time a developer gets it from the repository, the tool chain complains that you need to run ranlib on it. This works fine, but then the file is modified, and inevitably gets checked back in. So the next developer updates, and now he has to run ranlib. Etc.

Is there any way to break this cycle, short of remembering that some changes aren't significant? Adding a script that runs ranlib every time seems like overkill.
