[Clfs-support] zlib compiling issue

[Koornstra, Reinoud]

Hi,

I tried to compile zlib following the instruction in 10.11 and I get a problem there, apparently ar is given an unknown option:
ar: illegal option -- z
This happens after having applied the patch. Without the patch zlib compiles fine.
I don't see any -z anywhere, any hints?
Kind Regards,

Reinoud.
