Hi,

I have got some compilation error while linking the libA.so (third party library) with my network driver in QNX 6.4.1. 

The following are the compilation errors
========================
make[2]: *** No rule to make target `libA.a', needed by 


`/home/senthil/pe/x86/dll/devnp-xx.so'.  Stop. 

After getting the compilation error i tried the following steps.

1.I have created the dummy " libA.a " (third party library) file  in the same directory where libA.so is present using "

touch command".The libA.a file size is 0.

2.The compilation was successfull after creating the dummy file and i was able to load my  network driver in QNX Host.

Can you please let me know what is the significance of creating dummy file(libA.a) to link the libA.so file with my 
network driver?

Thanks and Regards
K.Senthil
