gnupic: Thread: gplib command line syntax

I tried to create a library with gplib inside a Makefile such as:

all:       $(OBJS)
            gplib -c newlib.lib
             for f in $(OBJS); do         \
                 gplib -r newlib.lib $$f;   \
             done;

This fails as the first gplib appears to want a member and the second 
gplib fails
because the library dosn't exist. A workaround is to create the lib with 
a valid
member and let the second gplib just overwrite it.

I am using "gplib-0.12.0 alpha" on Linux.

	That's correct fo gplib. You can use the following workaround
that works on linux:

--------------------------------------------------
LIB=newlib.lib
all: $(OBJS)
	for f in $(OBJS); do \
		if [ ! -e $(LIB) ]; then \
			gplib -c $(LIB) $$f; \
		else \
			gplib -r $(LIB) $$f; \
		fi ; \
		echo adding $$f; \
	done
---------------------------------------------------

Seems that I missed this message from last month.  gplib does allow you
to specify multiple objects in one command.  You could do this:

all: $(LIB)

$(LIB) : $(OBJS)
	glib -c $(LIB) $(OBJS)

Am I misunderstanding?
