Hi:
Does anyone have this problem when compiling ios on mac?
Failed to execute link command in link_static_library() function。

Error log:

Hello. Can I know build script on your terminal?
That error message was arise when you have typo in build command.

Thanks.

I am using the stellite build.py script to compile the latest version of the chromium code.

Maybe I have found the problem, because the ARG_MAX of the mac system is too small, I try to modify the command of the build.py---IOSBuild()---link_static_library() function seems to be fine.
The previous command is:
libtool -static *.o -arch_only armv7 -o /outdir/out_ios_arm/libxxx_arm.a
Change to:
libtool -static -arch_only armv7 -o /outdir/out_ios_arm/libxxx_arm.a -filelist /outdir/libtest.a.rsp
(Key point: Write all *.o files to a file first)

Thanks!
