Fixes for building on OSX #1

Closed swederik closed 8 years ago

swederik commented 8 years ago

Hi Dirk,

I managed to get the ar tool on OSX to build this by adding a dummy file to the containers folder. I haven't tested these changes on Linux though, so you might want to try that before merging the PR.

I found this tip in another repository:

"Some systems, reportedly OpenBSD and Mac OS X, refuse to create libraries without any object files. You might get an error like:

ar cru .libs/libgl.a
ar: no archive members specified

Compiling this file, and adding its object file to the library, will prevent the library from being empty."

Hi Erik,

thanks for the patch. I've commented a few things that I think are not correct. Please check, change the PR, so that I can merge it.

Dirk
