Just to be clear, this isn't a problem with make per se. The operating system itself has a limitation on the amount of data in the environment (which consists of both environment variables and command line arguments) that can be passed from one process to its child process. No program, whether it's make or something else like the shell, can exceed that limit. -- Powered by www.kitware.com Please keep messages on-topic and check the CMake FAQ at: http://www.cmake.org/Wiki/CMake_FAQ Kitware offers various services to support the CMake community.
