I'm not familiar with commandline toolset of gcc/llvm. It is so simple but yet not working as expected. I am becoming suspicious about everything - maybe whole macOS is corrupt?
The problem is that the command:
ar rcu libt.a @responsefiledoes not work; the error is ar: @responsefile: No such file or directory. But responsefile is right there. I tried 'gcc @testfile' and it works. Help!
Check your environment variables.
What is it you're expecting @responsefile to do? AFAIK, response files are a Windows thing.
No, AFAIK @responsefile is supported by ar - I tried this in several Linux variants (Fedora/CentOS).
EDIT: I suddenly realized that it may be the fact that ar on macOS has some quirks with this @responsefile thing. Apple may have removed this feature. Can anyone test this simple command and see if it works?
The reason I asked this question is that one of CodeLite project (static library) stopped working. The failed part is this ar @file thing. I guess ar @file feature was removed during last Xcode update (maybe 9.2).
