Re: [Dev-C++] Re: Re: strange errors

Note that the Windows environment doesn't support infinitely long command
lines, so especially a link line might fail miserably. This is one of the
reasons why most MS-DOS and Windows compilers supports response files,
where all information from the command line is witten to a text file, and
the compiler tool is called with @response_file on the command line.

When writing own make files, it helps to put object files in a separate
directory, since then it's possible to just specify *.obj (or in this case
*.o) in the link step.
