Could you please specify: What's the compiler you are using? How did you invoke make? What platform are you building on/for?

[simapple]

cmake 3.2.2
gcc 4.8.4
compile on gentoo linux

My build log contains the following line:

/usr/bin/gcc-ar-4.8 cr librelease.jerry-libc.linux.lib.a  CMakeFiles/release.jerry-libc.linux.lib.dir/jerry-libc.c.o CMakeFiles/release.jerry-libc.linux.lib.dir/jerry-libc-printf.c.o CMakeFiles/release.jerry-libc.linux.lib.dir/jerry-libc-fatals.c.o CMakeFiles/release.jerry-libc.linux.lib.dir/target/linux/jerry-libc-target.c.o CMakeFiles/release.jerry-libc.linux.lib.dir/target/linux/jerry-asm.S.o

So, it seems that the ar tool is not determined correctly. The current cmake listfiles try to deduce its name/location from the location of gcc by appending -ar. E.g., on my Ubuntu installation, I have gcc-4.8 and gcc-ar-4.8 under /usr/bin. Is there a chance that you can set up some symlinks, until the issue persists?

@akiss77, may we close this issue?

[akosthekiss]

@LaszloLango well, we still have the same gcc -> gcc-ar logic in the CMakeLists.txt. So, people may still run into this issue. However, I'm not sure when this logic will go away - if ever.
