Tom,
I tried:
- Get a newer make utility? -> from MS this is the latest
- Use GNU make -> can’t install/compile. It needs a file “cl”, and
only mentions MS C; I have Borland C.
- Get the cygwin package and build under that? ->
tried; lengthy process, voluminous, does not work.
I'll retry the original way, i.e. MS nmake, but on Windows NT to
avoid the max-commandline-length problem.
Thanks for the suggestions.
Cheers
