OBJ_DIR =
OUTPATH1/OUTPATH12/OUTPATH13/OUTPATH14/OUTPATH15/OUTPATH6/OUTPATH61/OUTPATH62/OUTPATH63/OUTPATH64/OUTPATH65/OUTPATH66/OUTPATH67/OUTPATH68/OUTPATH1/OUTPATH12/OUTPATH13/OUTPATH14
local_lib = $(OBJ_DIR)local.lib
all: $(local_lib)
If these are your file names, I think I know why they don't work. For
obscure histerical reasons, the native Windows port of Make uses an
obsolete API to look for executable files. That obsolete API only
supports file names up to 128 characters long. Can you try shortening
your OBJ_DIR path to less than 128 characters and see if it starts
working then? Note that you append local.lib to the path, so you
should shorten OBJ_DIR so that the resulting file name does not exceed
128 characters.
It is on my todo to fix this by switching to a more modern API for the
next release of Make.
If my guess is correct, it would also explain why the Cygwin port is
not hit by the problem: it doesn't use the code which calls the
obsolete API.
If the above does not explain the failure (i.e. the example makefile
does not work even with file names shorter than 128 characters),
perhaps you could step with a debugger into the function
process_begin, which reports the failure you posted, and see why it
fails.
Sorry for the inconvenience, and thanks in advance for your help in
investigating this problem.
P.S. I see that you also reported a similar problem back in May.
I did some debugging, but I could not work out, why CreateProcess fails. The
function parameters for me seem to be the same either in good and in bad
case.
Here is the parameter list of the call of CreateProcess in bad case, please
let me know, if you need more information.
