Long Command lines in makefile

Long Command lines in makefile

[Andrea Minosu]

Dear Earnie,

I'm new at using cygwin, so I'm not sure if I'm doing good to send this
e-mail to you.

The company where I work is using cygwin since a few months.
All of my collegues have non problems using it (both with Windows 98 and
Windows NT).

I have a strange problem on my machine (Windows 98): when the command line
of makefile is very long (because it uses something like $(OBJ)), then my PC
crashes completely (not only the cygwin windows).
PC gets completely crashed and my only choice is to turn the power off
(sometime also the CTRL-ALT-DEL works).

I've searched the mailing list archives but I didn't find a solution.

I'm using cygwin 1.1.8.

Please could anyone help me ?
Thank you in advance for your help
Andrea

Sounds like a problem with the make-program you use, do you use
gnumake that comes with cygwin or??

Tried to split the line, can you give us an example?? 

What does happen on your co-workers machines when you run this??

Dear Andrew,
Thank you very much for your help.

Yes I'm using gnumake that comes with cygwin.

On my co-workers machines the command works (it is the "make clean"
command), which calls the "rm" command as you can see in the below extract.
The "rm ...." line expands very long (I can see it just for a second before
Windows switches to the usual crash blue screen).
I've tryed to do something with a "for loop" so to call "rm" with a file at
a time, but it crashes in the "for $(OBJS)..." expansion.

Here it is an extract from makefile I'm using:

OBJS =  ./src/tast0mai.o \
        ./src/tats0mai.o \
        ./user/grcn0lib.o \
        ./user/grfb1lib.o \
...
...
clean:
        rm -f $(TARGET_LIB) $(DEPEND_FILES) $(OBJS) .depend

could you do something with xargs:
echo $(TARGET_LIB) $(DEPEND_FILES) $(OBJS) .depend | xargs rm -f

Step 1: Blame something else :-) 

As long as it works on your co-workes computers.. It is your computer
that is faulty.. :-) Get a new one ;-)

Step 2: Try workaround.

Well here are a bunch of workarounds.. all of them expanding objs,
maybe another one is splitting objs into two and doing rm objs1, rm
objs2.. 

Step 3: Find the error.

Hmm are you running gmake from the bash-window? Or command? You other
folks out there, what does gmake use for shell when compiling?? 

Do you have any other rm.exe, bash.exe, sh.exe, gmake lying around,
what does cygcheck say?

Thanks again for your help.

hehehe, good idea, I'm always looking for a more powerful computer.
Anyway my PC is 3 months old, I only installed "MS Office 2000" and a few
development kit like "CodeWarrior for MIPS" and others.

Yes splitting objs works.
"echo $(TARGET_LIB) $(DEPEND_FILES) $(OBJS) .depend" works too.
But "echo $(TARGET_LIB) $(DEPEND_FILES) $(OBJS) .depend | xargs rm -f" does
NOT work (i.e. it crashes in the same way).

I run from bash-window.

There are no other executables with same name around (I've scanned all the
harddisk).
