Compiling on Beagleboard - Fail on AR

Question

I am Compiling on a Beagleboard-Xm, Kernel:

root@beagleboard:~# uname -a
Linux beagleboard 2.6.32 #3 PREEMPT Tue Jul 26 10:56:56 CEST 2011 armv7l unknown

I now try to compile a static library with CMake, and everything is working fine, until it comes to linking of the library:

root@beagleboard:/usr/src/build/beaglebuild# make
Scanning dependencies of target phoenix_base
[  2%] Building CXX object 00_phoenix_base/CMakeFiles/phoenix_base.dir/src/exec_buffer.cpp.o

Usage: ar [-o] [-v] [-p] [-t] [-x] ARCHIVE FILES

Extract or list FILES from an ar archive

Options:
    -o  Preserve original dates
    -p  Extract to stdout
    -t  List
    -x  Extract
    -v  Verbose

make[2]: *** [00_phoenix_base/libphoenix_base.a] Error 1
make[1]: *** [00_phoenix_base/CMakeFiles/phoenix_base.dir/all] Error 2
make: *** [all] Error 2

In my the "ar --help" prints the same stuff.

Is there a way to get linking running on the board? What may be the Issue?

Some other System Versions:

root@beagleboard:~# cmake --version
cmake version 2.8.2
root@beagleboard:~# g++ --version
g++ (GCC) 4.3.3

Answer 1

After much trouble I cross-compiled a fully up-to-date version of ar (i thing the one on the board was outdated) and I got rid of BusyBox.

Now everything works as I expected.
