PRB: Error U1082 When Command Line Too Long in Makefile

ID: Q49757


The information in this article applies to:
  • Microsoft NMAKE Utility for MS-DOS, versions 1.1, 1.11, 1.12, 1.13, 1.2, 1.3, 1.4
  • Microsoft NMAKE Utility for OS/2, versions 1.01, 1.11, 1.12, 1.21


SYMPTOMS

An attempt to build a file with the Microsoft MAKE or NMAKE utilities fails and the utility generates the following message:

U1082: Not enough memory '...' cannot execute '...'
where '...' is replaced by the name of a command.


CAUSE

The length of the command line executed to build a given dependency is longer than the longest command line allowed in MS-DOS (128 characters). This error occurs most often with the Microsoft LINK command line.


RESOLUTION

Create a response file in the makefile and specify the name of the response file on the LINK command line. For more information on response files, see the documentation or the on-line help provided with your language compiler.
