Hmm. I know that RC compilation doesn't support response files (though the rc compiler does on Windows). Haven't had a problem with source compilation though (and I've had to deal with *long* paths before). > What we should do (other than fixing "the problem" with too many > paths) ?

Teaching the Ninja generator about response files for object file compilation would be the way to go (and support for RC as well would be good since the logic is likely the same). > PS.

There was work to reduce the size of the generated build.ninja file. More work could be done, but the projects I was looking at would only get marginal improvements from other techniques (though other projects with different flag quantities might show other things to improve).
