SYMPTOMS
An attempt to build a file with the Microsoft MAKE or NMAKE utilities fails and the utility generates the following message:
where '...' is replaced by the name of a command.
CAUSE
The length of the command line executed to build a given dependency is longer than the longest command line allowed in MS-DOS (128 characters). This error occurs most often with the Microsoft LINK command line.
RESOLUTION
Create a response file in the makefile and specify the name of the response file on the LINK command line. For more information on response files, see the documentation or the on-line help provided with your language compiler.
