Getting errors from DMD about the length of the command line when using it with make. Apparently the limit is 128 characters. Is this some inbuilt limitation or something that you could fix? I can work around it for now, since there's a library included in the linkstep that I don't need at the moment, but this is going to become and obstacle fairly quickly. Evan

But yeah, it would be nice if this limitation were lifted to, say, 4kb. For your prototype, you could use digc with a wildcard.

DMD is the command that's croaking. The big issue with digc is whether or not it's going to hose the SDL stuff that I'm using. I might have to stop using SDL in any case, though, so maybe it isn't an issue. Biggest issue with the whole development is art assets, rather than coding at the moment, so it's not a huge deal to not be able to go at full speed.

digc worked for a while, but it was doing something that trapped all printed output before it could be written out. I'm using the shell under emacs, though, so it's easy enough just to go up to the echoed line and hit return twice. Anyway, Walter, could you possibly release a make that can handle longer command lines next time you release a dmd alpha? Or at least tell us how to get around this problem? Thanks.

Put a * before the dmd command in the makefile, as in:

Nope... returns the error:
Error: Error reading file ' _CMDLINE.d'
no matter how I do it, either in the definition of $(DMD) or just
putting *dmd .... on the action line of the make file.
