#1064 Linker execution fails in 20.03 with long command line

[Stuart Allie]

Project compiles and links with older versions of CB but fails with 20.03 at the link stage, with a very long linker command line. Message is:
Execution of 'g++ -o bin\Release\test.exe .... (~26k characters of object file names) -mwindows' failed

Details:
Windows 10.
Msys2/mingw64 with gcc 10.2.
* CB 20.03 nosetup version.

• Tested with multiple versions of msys2/mingW with same error.
• Project builds and links with older CB (e.g. 10.05!).
• Simple projects build and link fine, suggesting that maybe the long linker command is the problem?

See [#953] . It implemented a response file support, which should fix this issue. For this you'll need to install a night build.

Thank you - I'll give the nightly build a go.

Closing this for now. If it doesn't work with a night build please re-open this.
