I was able to get one type of archive rules working for VMS, but have
not been able to figure how to translate code from the makefiles into
the internal default pattern rules for a more general case.
The rule below works for object libraries suffixes ".a" and ".olb" only.
For VMS I have to use slightly different rules for different library
types, something like:
.a(%) : %
<tab>if f$$search("@$") .eqs. "" then $(LIBRARY)/CREA/OBJ
<tab>($LIBRARY)$(LIBFLAGS) $@ $<
.hlb(%) : %
<tab>if f$$search("@$") .eqs. "" then $(LIBRARY)/CREA/TEXT
<tab>($LIBRARY)$(LIBFLAGS) $@ $<
.mlb(%) : %
<tab>if f$$search("@$") .eqs. "" then $(LIBRARY)/CREA/MACR
<tab>($LIBRARY)$(LIBFLAGS) $@ $<
If I try to put the library suffix in a compiled rule, the rule is ignored.
Below is what I could get to work:

So I do not understand how to get something like the above rules added
to default.c.
