I have not tried recompiling mTCP, but I assume it's a common issue. Usually it says "Arg list too long" if you are using DOS/4GW and/or go beyond 120 or 126 bytes. If the program with the problem is wcc / wcc386 / wlink or similar proper OpenWatcom tool, you can put an asterisk in front in your makefile, and it will adjust to stuff in and read from env. vars. instead: CC = *wcl386 LD = *wlink N.B. I found this out a while back when trying to compile NASM in pure FreeDOS with OpenWatcom. For other uses, wmake has various support for here docs / %append or whatever to support command files. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Don't let slow site performance ruin your business.
