You will have to post some code that does the reading to get meaningful 
answers.  It is best to craft a minimal program that exhibits the bug and 
post it here.

I think that is a warning.  You should see the archive is created, and if 
it is, everything is OK.

Note that the format of the libraries created by `ar' are incompatible 
with the usual Microsoft format of .lib libraries, and naming your 
library `grunn.lib' won't change that.
