[Bioperl-l] Bioperl core 1.4 make error: line too long

[Nathan Haigh]

Using ppm would be great if all the bioperl packages were available, but
they are not. I don't know about Makefiles, but is it possible to save the
long commandline arguments to file and pass this file to nmake, and have
this only occur for windows OS's? This was the suggestion at
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/vccore/ht
ml/U1095.asp

I don't use cygwin, because most of the scripts I write I want non
bioinformaticians to use who wouldn't have a clue what to do if they had
to use cygwin to run their scripts.

I'm not sure how many BioPerl windows users there are, but these are my
thought on it.
