confRANLIB

The name of the ranlib program for library archive files Build macro

Some flavors of Unix require that the ranlib(1) program be run against a library, before that library can be used. For such systems, this confRANLIB macro is correctly defined for you to be ranlib. For other flavors of Unix, the ranlib(1) program is not necessary. For such systems, this confRANLIB macro is defined to be echo.

In the rare circumstance that the default definition is wrong for your site, you can change it by defining this confRANLIB macro:

define(`confRANLIB', `/afs/support/cc/ranlib')
