Hi, I've been trying to understand how to get the support for archive files to work in conjunction with reading in files with auto dependencies for the .o files. The documentation for archive support does help as it is not a model of clarity. My experimentation has only led to further confusion regarding the internal rules of this function.
My goal is to be able to not save .o files "permanently", using archive files instead, but also be able to state the dependencies of member .o files so that the archive members are remade when the appropriate .h files change. I have not figured out to do this. Of course in order to do this, make must talk to ar to get the timestamps of members of the archive, but the documentation seems to imply this capability exists. Does anyone have an example of this, or can explain a little better how the archive support works under the hood? As mentioned above the GNU manual is rather unclear in this section.
