List-Id: List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , To: famz@redhat.com, mst@redhat.com Cc: Christopher Friedt , qemu-devel@nongnu.org, qemu-trivial@nongnu.org Currently, at least on Mac OS X 10.11.4 (El Capitan), Qemu fails to build for a few reasons. One of those reasons is that Apple's ld (at least ld64) does not properly process archive files created with ar (even Apple's ar). After some RTFM'ing, I came upon this tidbit, which is unfortunate. Luckily, autotools packages are not broken. "Libtool with -static is intended to replace ar(5) and ranlib." http://www.manpages.info/macosx/libtool.1.html In any case, this change takes Apple's recommendations into account and allows Qemu to build on Mac OS X El Capitan.
