tcf-agent calls RANLIB ( if defined ) after calling AR to create the archive [1], when RANLIB is set to gcc-ranlib this goes unnoticed, since calling gcc-ranlib without any arguments silenlty does nothing and exits with return code 0, however, calling binutils ranlib or llvm-ranlib does demand library name as commandline option and since it is not there it exits with code 1 aarch64-poky-linux-musl-llvm-ranlib OVERVIEW: LLVM ranlib Generate an index for archives USAGE: aarch64-poky-linux-musl-llvm-ranlib archive... OPTIONS: -h --help - Display available options -V --version - Display the version of this program -D - Use zero for timestamps and uids/gids (default) -U - Use actual timestamps and uids/gids -X{32|64|32_64|any} - Specify which archive symbol tables should be generated if they do not already exist (AIX OS only) aarch64-poky-linux-musl-llvm-ranlib: error: an archive name must be specified make: *** [Makefile:53: obj/GNU/Linux/a64/Debug/libtcf.a] Error 1 When we add $@, to RANLIB then it becomes the make variable, $@ - An automatic Makefile variable that expands to the target name (the file being built) so the makefile target now rightly adds the .a filename to RANLIB call.
