#145: when cross-compiling, the host prefix is not added to "ar" --------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: sebastien | Owner: sebastien Type: bug | Status: new Priority: trivial | Milestone: Component: Build system / Packaging | Version: 4.1.3 Keywords: | --------------------------------------+------------------------------------- When building a static library (as in preprocessor/macro), the build system will always use "ar" (instead of "i686-w64-mingw32-ar" for example).

In most cases this is not a problem.

The problem can happen if one has only the cross-compiling binutils, but not the native binutils, as for example in a Cygwin install where only the packages listed on the wiki page are installed.
