Limitation on size of variables?

[Offner, Georg]

Hi,

 

using make build 3.81 for Win32 I am encountering some probs making up large lists.

I have a variable OBJ_LIST which holds all the objects to be compiled; everything works fine, until this list excees a certain size, 11015 chars is still fine but e.g. 11374 chars breaks make with the following error:

 

process_begin: CreateProcess(C:\DOCUME~1\go\LOCALS~1\Temp\make4588-1.bat, C:\DOCUME~1\go\LOCALS~1\Temp\make4588-1.bat, ...) failed.
make (e=234): More data is available.
make[1]: *** [PLATFORM/StarTarget8/StarShuttle/LIB/OBJ/ARM/BOOT/KERNEL/INST9c/INSTANCE.obj] Error 234
make: *** [PLATFORM/StarTarget8/StarShuttle/LIB/KERNEL] Error 2

 

Are there any limitations in the size of variables?

Anything else I should regard?

 

Regards,
