Hi to Everybody,

Same premise: I am not a Windows Tricks&Tips expert.

Problem: how many chars can GCC swallow through the options&argument line?

I'm trying to run the following command line:
gcc -xc -ansi -o z:\FE2\test\GW_CHECKER_m\CHECKER_Task\CHECKER_Task.obj1 -c
z:\FE2\test\GW_CHECKER_m\CHECKER_Task\CHECKER_Taskt.c

and the WinXP DOS shell prompts me the following msg (roughly translated
from italian):
program specified impossible to run

If I run the following command line:
gcc -xc -ansi -o z:\FE2\test\GW_CHECKER_m\CHECKER_Ta\CHECKER_Task.obj1 -c
z:\FE2\test\GW_CHECKER_m\CHECKER_Task\CHECKER_Taskt.c

the command, with obvious errors, runs up to its end.

It seems there is a limit of 126 chars in the gcc command line lenght. It is
correct? And if so, how can I work around it?

Thanks for any help you might be able to give,
Omar.---
