.NET C++ linker problem

[joneian]

Hi, having problems getting Visual Studio C++ .NET: in Project settings, the Linker command line options, don't match what i have entered in Input > Additional Dependancies. some of the libraries are missing, some of the paths are cut off.
If I cut down the number of libraries (to less than 35ish) they are all there correctly - but any more and it goes haywire.
Excatly the same project file works fine on another install of .NET on another PC.

It makes no sense... is there a limit to the number of libraries you can include? but then why does it work on my friends pc??

Which expands to C:\development\Martini_5.1b480\Bin\Windows\toolkit on your machine expanding to a shorter path on the other machine?

Are both machines running the same operating system?

Hi,

$(MARTINI_ROOT) is slightly shorter on the other machine [C:\devlibs\Martini_5.1b480\Bin\Windows\toolkit]

and they are running the same operating system.

I have found that i can include multiple libs by using the wild card *

so I now have:
-------------------------------
wsock32.lib
$(SOURCEPRO6_ROOT)/lib/*.lib
$(MQSERIES_ROOT)/tools/lib/mqic32.lib
$(MARTINI_ROOT)/debug/*.lib
c:/src/FrameworkLibrary/debug/FrameworkLibraryd.lib
-------------------------------

And this seems to behave.

I can't believe that there is a limit to the number of characters, and that when you reach that limit, there isn't a nice message alerting you - it just breaks.
