That is true: Unix systems also have a limitation. The difference is that they're often much higher than Windows (128k on Linux vs 8k on Windows), so you're less likely to hit it. And since Windows's limit is lower, cross-platform software hits it first on Windows and "blames" Windows for it. Once they implement the solution, they won't see the issue anymore and thus will never hit it on Unix when the macro list grows. As a benefit, you get (more or less) readable output from make. -- Thiago Macieira - thiago.macieira (AT) intel.com Software Architect - Intel Open Source Technology Center
