Hi,

as you may have notices I have had trouble with the linking step,
probably due to too many objects that results in a too long command line
in windows. I actually checked this by modifying the makefile manually
and compiled the project in a MS-DOS window and it worked. I did the
same thing without modifying the makefile generated by DEV-C++ and I got
the same errors so I have pretty much located the problem. What I want
to do is to force DEV-C++ to build the makefile with the line

OBJ = objects/*

instead of (as it does by default)

OBJ = objects/obj1.o objects/obj2.o objects/obj3.o ...etc

Is there a way to do this within the GUI of DEV-C++ or am I stuck with
linking in the MS-DOS prompt? I would assume that there are others who
have had similar problems. If you have other suggestions on how to solve
the problem (without modifying the .cpp or .h files), please let me
know, it would make a world of difference to me...
