Subject: Make error 255 bug
Date: Thu, 25 Sep 2003 13:44:00 -0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <000c01c3836a$ee1b3b80$8006fea9@bertigep> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20030925125239.GH10088@cygbert.vinschen.de>
So it looks like a bug either in cygwin or in cygwin make.
* Test command:
$ perl -e 'print "all:;\t\@true && \\\n"; foreach $i (0000..9999) { print
"\techo -n $i && \\\n"; } print "\ttrue\n";' | make -f -
* Cygwin 1.5
Make 3.80
Works only if number is not larger than 1989, otherwise
make: *** [all] Error 255
When long lines get into the way of make, it executes nothing, but stops
with this error.
Other systems:
* Solaris 2.7
GNU Make 3.76.1
...
-n 9999
-n 9999
-n 9999
-n 10000
--> Works correctly even with larger numbers.
* Linux 2.2.19
GNU Make 3.79.1
Works only if number is not larger than 7747
make: execvp: /bin/sh: Argument list too long
make: *** [all] Error 127
