I use JAMSHELL=% which makes jam execute the command directly without a
shell and has no command line length limit. Of course it does mean that you
can't use shell features like redirection and pipes, but it sounds like
you're just doing a normal compile so you wouldn't need them anyway.
Mark.

Subject: [jamboost] Command length limit
Dear all,
I'm using BBv2 on Windows XP and I've been having a few problems related to
the limit on the command-line length in one of my projects, which has a
relatively high number of dependencies (>15):
1) msvc.compile.c++ started to fail because all the '-I <path>' instructions
caused it to exceed the limit. I got away with it by explicitly changing the
hardcoded limit defined in 'int maxline ()' (jam_src/execnt.c). Would it be
a good idea to use a mechanism similar to the one used for libs (.rsp
files)?
2) clean started to fail for the same reason. I solved this removing
'together' in 'common.jam', line 108. Is this the best approach?
Thanks in advance,
Pedro
