I am trying to get gnu make to work with a third party compiler and WinNT 
4.0. I am running into three problems:

1) Command lines that are too large. I gave tried the response file method 
for resolving this and it doesn't seem work for me. I have not tried the 
!proxy method but it seems to apply only to gnu related tools (which this is 
not) and I have not seen an example of how to use it. I finally settle on 
echoing the command to a batch file ($*temp.bat) and executing it which 
works on Windows 2000 but not on WinNT4.0. Is there a better way?

2) Having used the batch file fix mentioned in #1. I get into a problem with 
using '$*temp.bat' as the file name becuase it results in file names that 
are too long some times. I don't like it, but I can get around this by using 
the same small file name for all batch files (i.e. temp.bat). Is there a 
better way?

3) For all the $*temp.bat files that do work I get a "Program too big to fit 
in memory" error. The bat files run fine from the command in a WinNT dos 
prompt session, but I can not run then from the make file. I can seem to get 
past this one.

I have no problems with this setup under Windows2000. I only have it on 
Windows. I am not using the full djgpp enviroment under WindowsNT since make 
is the only thing I need at this point. The WindowsNT machine only has 64M 
of memory.

The third problem is the only one I really need a solution to. If there is a 
more elegant solution to the other two problems that would be great.

Thanks in advance.
