This is most likely a limitation of the OS. On Solaris, exec as having the error: E2BIG The number of bytes in the new process's argument list is greater than the system-imposed limit of ARG_MAX bytes. The argument list limit is sum of the size of the argument list plus the size of the environment's exported shell variables.
Do you have a large environment that is eating up the bytes or is it just a very long command line? samuel On 8/10/07 1:33 PM, "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > gnumake[1]: execvp: /bin/sh: The parameter or environment lists are too > long. > gnumake[1]: *** [clean] Error 127 > > > _______________________________________________ > Bug-make mailing list > Bug-make@gnu.org > http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-make _______________________________________________ Bug-make mailing list Bug-make@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-make
