From: BSimon AT randata DOT com DOT au (Brendan Simon) Subject: Make & Bash bugs/questions 21 Oct 1997 17:51:02 -0700 Message-ID: Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit To: "'GNU-Win32'" A couple of questions about the GNU-Win Make & Bash. I've just managed to compile the V GUI but encounterd a few problems with Make. Make complained about not being able to find the dependency target v_defs.h. This file definately exists in a directory where VPATH points to yet Make could not find it. I had to resort to using DJGPP Make which worked fine; well up to the point where to object files were collected into a library using ar. Why would DJGPP Make (v3.73) work but not GNU-Win32 Make (ver 3.75) ?? Is it something to do with long paths, long filenames or case sensitity ?? When DJGPP Make tried to make the V libaryr, it had an error message that indicated it had run out of command line space (ie. did not recognise characters after about the 120th on the command line). Yet if I typed in the entire ar command manually, it worked OK. I even tried using Bash but had the same result. Is this command line limitation something to do with DJGPP ?? Should/would GNU-Win32 Make fix this problem (assuming that it worked for previous problem) I would really love to use Bash but it is SOOOOOOO slow. I run linux on a 486 DX2/66 with lots of windows open. Bash and other shells run faster on this machine than they do on my Pentium 133 running Win95. Is there something I can do to speed up Bash or is it just that Windows95 is a load of crap. Thanks heaps for any info, Brendan Simon. bsimon AT randata DOT com DOT au - For help on using this list (especially unsubscribing), send a message to "gnu-win32-request AT cygnus DOT com" with one line of text: "help".
