Re: command line limitation

[Dan Clarke]

I had the same problem.  I just do this ....

        $(shell if exist project.lnk del project.lnk)
        $(foreach n, $(link_options), $(shell echo $(n) >> project.lnk))
        $(foreach n, $(lib_files), $(shell echo $(n) >> project.lnk))
        $(foreach n, $(c_object_files), $(shell echo $(n) >> project.lnk))
