SYMPTOMS
The Visual Workbench cannot recognize a project makefile that contains more than 511 files. A syntax error is reported for the internal makefile.
CAUSE
An internal makefile can contain no more than 511 continuation lines, and there is a continuation line for every file in the SBR section.
RESOLUTION
There are two solutions to the project makefile problem that contains more than 511 files:
- Load the makefile as an external makefile. -or-
- Edit the SBR section so that it has less than 512 continuation lines. More than one file can be on each line. For example, change
A511.SBR \
A512.SBRto the following:
A511.SBR A512.SBR
The disadvantage to the first solution is that the project cannot be edited. The disadvantage to the second solution is that it has to be redone each time the project is edited.
STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in FORTRAN PowerStation for MS-DOS, version 1.0 and version 1.0a.
This is not a problem in FORTRAN PowerStation 32.
