: Some time ago, the following appeared on c.o.m.d.  You were kind enough to offer some advice to me recently regarding the use of DJGPP Perl with CVS and long command line issues -- namely an alpha-stage port of some system functions which make use of the CMDLINE variable.  

: Is it possible to make use of your patches to enable Make to pass long commands to non-DJGPP applications?  How would I go about doing so?  I am currently using GNU Make version 3.79.1 (binaries from mak3791b.zip).  I presume I would need to get the sources, your patches and recompile Make (at least...).  Would any other tools need rebuilding?

It should be the same procedure as for perl. If you have already
compiled the library for those patches, all you need to do is
recompiled make, I think.

(BTW, you need to configure your mailer/poster to break long lines.)


Right,
