合并静态库时,ar命令不会产生索引

我正在尝试按照here给出的答案将多个静态库组合到MinGW64下的单个存档中。具体来说,我使用CMake并指定以下命令:

    add_custom_command(
        OUTPUT ${COMBINED_CORE_LIB_NAME}
        COMMAND ${AR} -crs ${COMBINED_CORE_LIB_NAME} ${CORE_LIB_TARGET_FILES}
        DEPENDS ${DILIGENT_CORE_INSTALL_LIBS_LIST}
        COMMENT "Combining core libraries..."
    )

此外,按照here的建议,我不使用股票ar,而是使用交叉ar:

find_program(AR NAMES x86_64-w64-mingw32-gcc-ar)

但是,无论我做什么,ar拒绝生成索引,并且每次我尝试链接到生成的库时,都会出现此错误:

error adding symbols: Archive has no index; run ranlib to add one

按照建议的方式运行ranlib要么存入一个,要么x86_64-w64-mingw32-gcc-ranlib都没有影响。

我花了15分钟来使它与MSVC和lib.exe一起工作,而与MinGW却苦苦挣扎了8小时。任何建议将不胜感激。

[Edit]:事实证明,此问题并非真正针对MinGW,并且在Linux上也以非常相似的方式发生。

答案 0 :(得分:1)

事实证明,使用ar实用程序无法将多个.a文件合并为单个.a库:它拒绝生成索引。一个可行的解决方案是从所有静态库中解压缩所有目标文件,然后将它们重新打包到组合库中。

下面是我最后得到的CMake指令:

set(COMBINED_CORE_LIB_NAME "${CMAKE_STATIC_LIBRARY_PREFIX}DiligentCore${CMAKE_STATIC_LIBRARY_SUFFIX}")

foreach(CORE_LIB ${DILIGENT_CORE_INSTALL_LIBS_LIST})
    list(APPEND CORE_LIB_TARGET_FILES $<TARGET_FILE:${CORE_LIB}>)
endforeach(CORE_LIB)

if(MSVC)
    add_custom_command(
        OUTPUT ${COMBINED_CORE_LIB_NAME}
        COMMAND ${LIB_EXE} /OUT:${COMBINED_CORE_LIB_NAME} ${CORE_LIB_TARGET_FILES}
        DEPENDS ${DILIGENT_CORE_INSTALL_LIBS_LIST}
        COMMENT "Combining core libraries..."
    )
    add_custom_target(DiligentCore-static ALL DEPENDS ${COMBINED_CORE_LIB_NAME})
else()

    if(PLATFORM_WIN32)
        # do NOT use stock ar on MinGW
        find_program(AR NAMES x86_64-w64-mingw32-gcc-ar)
    else()
        set(AR ${CMAKE_AR})
    endif()

    if(AR)
        add_custom_command(
            OUTPUT ${COMBINED_CORE_LIB_NAME}
            # Delete all object files from current directory
            COMMAND ${CMAKE_COMMAND} -E remove "*${CMAKE_C_OUTPUT_EXTENSION}"
            DEPENDS ${DILIGENT_CORE_INSTALL_LIBS_LIST}
            COMMENT "Combining core libraries..."
        )

        # Unpack all object files from all targets to current directory
        foreach(CORE_LIB_TARGET ${CORE_LIB_TARGET_FILES})
            add_custom_command(
                OUTPUT ${COMBINED_CORE_LIB_NAME}
                COMMAND ${AR} -x ${CORE_LIB_TARGET}
                APPEND
            )
        endforeach()

        # Pack object files to a combined library and delete them
        add_custom_command(
            OUTPUT ${COMBINED_CORE_LIB_NAME}
            COMMAND ${AR} -crs ${COMBINED_CORE_LIB_NAME} "*${CMAKE_C_OUTPUT_EXTENSION}"
            COMMAND ${CMAKE_COMMAND} -E remove "*${CMAKE_C_OUTPUT_EXTENSION}"
            APPEND
        )

        add_custom_target(DiligentCore-static ALL DEPENDS ${COMBINED_CORE_LIB_NAME})
    else()
        message("ar command is not found")
    endif()
endif()

if(TARGET DiligentCore-static)
    install(FILES "${CMAKE_CURRENT_BINARY_DIR}/${COMBINED_CORE_LIB_NAME}"
            DESTINATION "${DILIGENT_CORE_INSTALL_DIR}/lib/"
    )
    set_target_properties(DiligentCore-static PROPERTIES
        FOLDER Core
    )
else()
    message("Unable to find librarian tool. Combined DiligentCore static library will not be produced.")
endif()
