I am making this target only deploy_marketProperties: echo Copying application data... && $(MKDIR) "C:/Users/User1/Desktop/A/Proj/src/../lib/armle-v7/release/marketProperties" && $(COPY_DIR) $(wildcard C:/Users/User1/Desktop/A/Proj/src/subProj/marketProperties/*) "C:/Users/User1/Desktop/A/Proj/src/../lib/armle-v7/release/marketProperties" Using following command make deploy_marketProperties --debug=vjm On GNU make 3.81, it works fine. But on make 4.2 and 4.2.1, I get an error: cp: target `C' is not a directory The problem appears to be the length of the command. If I delete some JSON files, it works fine. Here's output of make 3.81. Note: there's actually 264 JSON files but I only show a few here. =============================================================================================================================================== GNU Make 3.81 Copyright (C) 2006 Free Software Foundation, Inc.
