Too many command lines for `./bin/pindpurge'

[rajeshmsr]

While compiling one of our application using make, we are getting the message:

Too many command lines for `./bin/pindpurge'

and the target binary is not created.

Note: We are migrating the app from SunOS 5.8 to HP-UX 11.31 and it was working fine on sun os.

Kindly suggest a solution/idea on the above issue.

You seem to be using the bundled C compiler... I seriously doubt you will be able to build a whole application with this - it's really only there to support compilation/linking of kernel modules when the kernel changes.

You should really have the full C/C++ developers bundle installed:

I'm hoping this is a minor installation oversight on your part, as the compiler is not free - it's a chargeable piece of software.

Of course you could try and build with gcc which is free, but that may throw up a whole new set of issues:

Try:

Thanks for the reply.

When I tried with ansic also, am getting the same message and no binary is created:

"Too many command lines" does not seem like a compiler error. Perhaps it is produced by the "make" utility?

The Makefile you attached seems to be just a small part of a rather complex system of Makefiles used by your project. Since you did not attach all the included Makefiles, it's not possible to analyze it any further.

> include ${DEF_RELATIVE_PATH}/Makefile.def

> include ../../Makefile.local.def

> include ${DEF_RELATIVE_PATH}/Makefile.target

Earlier, I can see DEF_RELATIVE_PATH defined:

> # Profondeur du fichier Makefile
> # par rapport au fichier global Makefile.def
> DEF_RELATIVE_PATH=../../../..

There might be an error somewhere in your system of Makefiles (causing some build rule to get stuck in a loop, generating extra command lines), or the number of command lines required to create ./bin/pindpurge might be too big for the HP-UX make utility.

Thanks for the analysis.

Yes, I too guessed that to be an issue of make. But couldn't see the exact issue.

Attaching the further makefiles used in the system.

D_HPUX_SOURCE
or:
-D_HPUX_SOURCE
?

A quick Google search -- You should try it
sometime -- for:
"Too many command lines for"
led pretty directly to a plausible
explanation (for a "make"-related program):

https://www-304.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21264244

Cause

This is caused by a makefile containing two
definitions for the same target name which
are identical in their dependency and build
scripts.

You actually build straight into "/bin"?
Yow.

[Dennis Handly]

>/usr/ccs/bin/cc -c D_HPUX_SOURCE +DD64 -D_INCLUDE_AES_SOURCE -D_INCLUDE_POSIX_SOURCE -D_INCLUDE_XOPEN_SOURCE -lc

This is the bundled C compiler.
You should NOT be using any of the -D_INCLUDE_* defines. Use the ones in stdsyms(5) instead.
Also no need to have -lc since it is supplied by the driver and will give a warning.

>(Bundled) cc: warning 1913: `D_HPUX_SOURCE' does not exist or cannot be read

As mentioned, you need to fix this. This is trying to tell you that you may have link errors.

>no binary is created:

That's because you have -c, to compile only.

>Steven: You actually build straight into "/bin"?

I see ./bin/.

So do I, today. Old age is Hell. Sigh.
