Thanks for the tip Jeff. "config.mak.autogen" is created in the git compile only when you do a "./configure". Mine had the bad reference to "gar" in it due to the following.
It was caused because my path had a reference to a non-related "gar" executable (some internal command). I saw the compile trying to execute it and removed it from my path. Doing a "make clean" afterwards didn't remove the "config.mak.autogen" which had mistakenly thought that I was using "gar" and not "ar". When I fixed my path to not include the company specific "gar" and started with a fresh untar it worked perfectly. It also didn't make a "config.mak.autogen" since that isn't what is recommended to do in the git docs for install. This is closed due to my own user error. config.mak.autogen # git Makefile configuration, included in main Makefile # config.mak.autogen. Generated from config.mak.in by configure. CC = cc CFLAGS = -g -O2 CPPFLAGS = LDFLAGS = AR = gar TAR = gtar ~~~~~~~~~~~~ Eldon Nelson eldon_nel...@ieee.org -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
