I need help creating an archive library (.a file in unix) in Apex Ada.
Does anyone know how to do this?
thanks

Have a look at this link. I haven't checked but it might be explained
here. If not have you checked the GNAT manual?

That's not likely to be super useful as the OP is using IBM-Rational 
Apex Ada not GNAT... :-(

.a files are created by the program "ar", using object files (.o files) 
as input. Once you get Apex to produce object files, "man ar" should 
provide the information you need.

OK first check Apex manual then check Gnat :-) But I thought one could
make the .a files without some other program like ar. Not sure if you
have to do anything spesific before this though.

This sent me to the "wayback machine", I haven't done this in about 8 years (since I left the CAATS program)...   

There's an option in Apex to produce the linker command line.  What you need to do is generate the ld command line, and then you can grab all the ".o" files to produce an archive.  

BUT:  You have to worry about the elaboration entry point.  You can't just link in an Ada archive into an executable, and expect everything to work correctly.  You have to make sure that the main program that you link with the archive will call the elaboration entry point before any other Ada unit is called.
