If I use a custom command like this (physics is the name of the static  
library):

add_custom_command(TARGET physics POST_BUILD COMMAND ranlib -c)

I get this error when it tries to run.

"/usr/bin/ranlib -c" libphysics.a
Error running link command: No such file or directory
make[2]: *** [libs/test/physics/libphysics.a] Error 2

Because the quoted command includes the argument.  Any ideas?
