RE: make: *** [debug_base_make] Error 255

[Rinehart, Raleigh]

It is indeed a limitation with XP, the cmd your makefile is trying to invoke is exceeding the character length limits of Windows’ cmd processor.  You’ll need to find a way to divide the command up into smaller pieces.  It is a little difficult to provide a specific solution without seeing what your make rule is doing.

 

Hope this helps,

Hi,

 

When I try to compile around 300 *.c files with (OS: windows xp professional ) gnu make 3.80 am getting an error like

 

The input line is too long.

make: *** [debug_base_make] Error 255

 

Hope it is not limitation with xp. Can you please let me know what kind of error is this. I got similar kind of error earlier but it was resolved by reducing the length of the folder names. Now my folder structure have almost single character as names !! Still am getting the error.

 

Please sagest me some solution and also help full if you can tell why is this error.

 

 

Thanks in advance..
