arm-ar: fatal: Numeric user ID too large

Hi,

I am using the Snapdragon-llvm-3.5-compiler-linux64 toolchain for my project,

bin/clang is used to compiler source from obj file, tools/bin/arm-ar is used to archive the lib.

If the user is local user which uid is 1002, it works well. However when I switch to a user which uid is big number like uid(1704601764), arm-ar will report "Numeric user ID too large".

If any compiler option for clang and arm-ar can disable the user ID checking?

Thanks

Minfeng

Hi Minfeng,

In this case, you need to add a '-D' flag when running 'arm-ar'.  This flag enables "deterministic mode", which zeros the userID and GroupID fields.

Hi Pstrong,

Thanks for a lot for your feedback.

I added the -D flag for arm-ar, in this case, I got "Unrecognized archive format" error message.

Not sure if any other suggestion?

Thanks

Minfeng

Hi Minfeng,

Please send the full command line that generated the error, so we can take a closer look.

Hi Pstrong,

After some checking, the new error is caused by previous obj file not clean. It works with -D option with a clean build.

The issue is closed and thanks for your suggestion.

Thanks

Minfeng
