Again, this is only for Windows 7 x64 / Strawberry 5.16.1.

The initial problem is now fixed, but I have a new one - closer to what you suspected originally about a long line.

dmake:  makefile:  line 3016:  Error: -- Input line too long, increase

Line 3016 in question is somewhere in the middle of the statement starting at line 1206 with:

PM_TO_BLIB = lib/Date/Manip/TZ/inanta00.pm \
    blib\lib\Date\Manip\TZ\inanta00.pm \

[ ... and on to and past line 3016 ...]

It seems this error is known for 'dmake' on Strawberry and a "fix" is posted here (although it relies on the user doing something - not something you can include in the Makefile):

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.


go ahead... be a heretic
