Hi

I used LIB to build a static library out of some
object files (compiled from D source), but the
basic command line didn't work as the page size
was too small. Using 32 worked fine.
What I would like to know is if there are some
rule that decides the necessary page size somewhat
automatically? Is it the number of objectfiles or
the combined filesize of them or something else?
I want to automate the use of LIB, but this sort
of stops that (unless 32 is big enough for everything).

The pagesize is an unfortunate artifact of the ancient lib file format. Just
set it to a large size and leave it at that.

And is 32 a large size?

Just

 And is 32 a large size?

No. I think 512 is the largest.
