RE: Command line length on Win2000

[Shah Bijal]

This doesn't sound right.... I'm running win2k and can get command lines of 
well over 2000 characters.

Did you build your make or download it? Is it actually a DOS build of make or a 
Windows 2000 build?

Also, check COMSPEC and SHELL environment/make variables to see if they are 
pointing to CMD.EXE.
I would upgrade to the latest gmake too - 3.76.1 quite old in the scheme of 
things!

Subject: Command line length on Win2000


I am running into command line length problems on Win2000 when running
gmake. On Win98, I used command.com as my shell, and could use roughly 120
characters in my make commands. On Win2000, this has been reduced to about
96 characters. Are there any shells out there that will greatly expand from
120 the number of characters I can use in my make commands? I am currently
running version 3.76.1 of the make utility.

I have also noticed that hand typing in the make commands that don't work
from make works on Win2000.
