Article ID: Q66646
The information in this article applies to:
  • Microsoft NMAKE Utility for OS/2, versions 1.11, 1.12, 1.13, and 1.21
  • Microsoft NMAKE Utility for Windows NT, version 1.4

SYMPTOMS

An attempt to use a makefile that uses the long filenames available in OS/2 or Windows NT fails and NMAKE generates the following message: 

   U4007: file name too long: truncating to 8.3

RESOLUTION

Place quotation marks around the long filenames.

STATUS

NMAKE 1.5 (included in Visual C++ 2.0) will handle long filenames.

For more information about this behavior, please refer to the README.DOC file provided with Microsoft C version 6.0 for OS/2, or to the NMAKE.WRI file provided with Visual C++ 32-bit Edition version 1.0.
