Ranlib error when building mbedtls-2.13.0 on OS X

Mbed TLS Bug Reports / Issues

I am getting the following error when running make on the mbed tls programs directory in a fresh download of mbedtls-2.13.0 on OS X. I had been using make here with no issues until it suddenly stopped last night, so I thought I must have broken something and downloaded a fresh mbedtls-2.13.0. I still am receiving this error when running make:

ranlib: object: libmbedx509.a(certs.o) malformed object (unknown load command 1)
make[1]: *** [libmbedx509.a] Error 1
make: *** […/library/libmbedx509.a] Error 2

I have tried to reinstall Xcode command line tools but this did not solve the issue. I can generate that error either by running make on the default makefile or by typing:
ranlib …/library/libmbedx509.a

Hi @scottohair
Have you managed to find a solution?
We couldn’t reproduce this issue. It would be helpful if we had more information.

Have you looked in macos - Mac load commands corruption - Stack Overflow?
Could that post assist you?

Ron

I ended up using cmake and was able to compile. Still not sure what was going on. I assume something on my device became corrupted, since it occurred all of the sudden.
