If you think that a different summary clarifies the issue better, feel free to change it.

Issue: app-editors/yudit calls ar directly.
Discovered on: amd64

NOTE:
As per QA policy, toolchain tools must not be called directly because they can cause issue in cross-compiling and because is not possible use a different AR implementation (like llvm-ar). To reproduce, please use sys-devel/gcc-config[-native-symlinks], sys-devel/binutils-config[-native-symlinks] and set the AR variable to x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-ar.

Being able to specify AR ARFLAGS and RANLIB during "configure"

The attached patch is patch2 for yudit-3.1.0.
Now you can specify AR ARFLAGS and RANLIB when using configure.
I hope this helps bulding it on Gentoo.

Comment 5 Gaspar Sinai 2023-02-25 15:43:44 UTC

On Macintosh there was no compilation problem reported because
there is and "ar" command that comes with developer tools.

Still, I successfully tested the unmodified patch using 
Macintosh libtool that comes with developer tools:
 
/Library/Developer/CommandLineTools/usr/bin/libtool -> /usr/bin/libtool

./configure AR=/usr/bin/libtool ARFLAGS="-static -o" RANLIB=/bin/echo --prefix=/Applications/Yudit.app/Contents/MacOS
 
On Linux I could not replace "ar" command with GNU libtool, as it does
not seem to care about backward compatibility. You must have "ar"
and "ranlib" installed to compile Yudit on Linux.
