dmake changes proposed for Jan-2010 release

Just for record: 1) we need the following patch to be accepted at least to dmake svn trunk (needed for dmake to work when installed in a dir with spaces in its name): http://tools.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=104727 2) after that patch I am gonna prepare both 32-bit/64-bit binaries of new dmake 3) it would be also nice to install the new file c\bin\startup\local.mk with the following content: MAXLINELENGTH := 200000 to avoid error: 'dmake: makefile: line 1222: Error: -- Input line too long, increase MAXLINELENGTH' when installing for example Net::Amazon -- kmx

If you REALLY want a malicious test against MAXLINELENGTH, install the Koha distribution (an integrated library system) from koha.org! [And we thought BioPerl was a big distribution!] It was reported to me last week that 500000 is not enough to let that one install. Here's a Makefile that I was sent illustrating the problem.

Hi, Curtis,

As for the 1) unfortunately no progress, even worse I had to do a "step back" as my patch fixed space-issue but broke some other functionality. And to be honest I have not investigated further. I have stored the details here:
http://tools.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=104727
Anyway I propose to move dmake+spaces discussion to this RT:
http://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=49388

However as for 2) and 3) these are already fixed - just take:
http://strawberryperl.com/package/kmx/32_tools/32bit_dmake-SVN20091127-bin_20100128.zip
http://strawberryperl.com/package/kmx/64_tools/64bit_dmake-SVN20091127-bin_20100128.zip

You can find also other tools (gnu make, pexports, patch) binaries in
http://strawberryperl.com/package/kmx/32_tools/
http://strawberryperl.com/package/kmx/64_tools/

Since I'm using packages updated from the ones mentioned here, consider this 'patched'.
