Bad command or filename????

[Clancy G.]

I downloaded NeoEngine and tried compiling the neoengine dll without modifying a thing using the provided Devproject that came with it. The problem I am having is at the bottom of my compile log:

Compiler: Default compiler
Building Makefile: "C:\neoengine\neoengine-0.7.0\neoengine\Makefile.win"

Bad command or file name <--------HERE

Execution terminated
Compilation successful

I am using the latest version 4.9.8.7 and the version of Mingw that came with 4.9.8.0. I am sure i have all paths set correctly. Please help.

You posted your Dev-C++ question right over a post from Colin asking folks to NOT post Dev-C++ questions here.  Please take the time to at least *look* at a forum before posting.

I can tell you by the way, you rproblem is that you are running into OS imposed limits on the length of the command line.  I don't see an easy way around it, but repost your question to the right forum, and maybe someone else has a better idea how to break up the command.

you're probably using system earlier than win2000?

If you want to test something I would recommend increase command line environment size:
try something like this:
run command.exe and type:
--
cd C:\neoengine\neoengine-0.7.0\neoengine
set PATH=%PATH%;c:\dev-cpp\bin
make -f Makefile.win all
--
and see if the error is the same, if it is try:
--
%comspec% /e:8192 /c "make -f Makefile.win all
--
or if it doesn't work try /e:32768.

maybe if it works we could put it into dev-cpp so projects like that would work on all systems.

He moved his question over to the correct forum earlier today sir, check for it there.
