I must take care an old project and get stuck in it. It's a makefile project and I get the error could not read symbols: Archive has no index; run ranlib to add one when doing build.
I found an helpful link about this issue, could not read symbols: Archive has no index; run ranlib to add one.
I tried nm liboprt.a command and get result File format not recognized for object files. I also tried file planeoprt.o and get the result planeoprt.o: ELF 32-bit MSB relocatable, MIPS, MIPS-II version 1 (SYSV), not stripped
The problem is I just have static library (.a) and object file (.o) so that I cannot follow their instructions to recompile the source code (.c).
Does someone help me come over this problem without recompiling source code?
