One thing that I recall is that NT had a 1024 (or 1023 or similar)
limit to the command line length. Anything more than that, it just
truncates the command and tries to execute it. We ran into problems
when we had too many frameworks and path names that were too long.
We ended up mapping paths to drive letters to shorten the command line.

Java bridged to Obj-C
Details:
I am just starting work for a client who still has a few 4.5 WO
apps. I have been spinning my wheels for a week trying to get the
source to compile. I have 2 questions:
1) How does WO 4.5 on NT define environment variables that don't
appear in the standard NT env-var control panel? I can echo
$NEXT_ROOT in a shell, but there is no def in the panel?? How can
I inspect these hidden variables? (sorry that was 2 in 1)
2) It appears an environment variable with a syntax error is
aborting the compile very early. My recall is sketchy on this, but
it happens when make calls javaconfig (something like ($shell
javaconfig DefaultClasspath)). javaconfig is an executable shipped
with WO 4.5 and somehow assembles a series of paths derived from
environment variables. The first one in the list is C:\\WebObjects
\Library, which I am suspicious of the double '\\', but I can't
figure out how the command is putting that together. I don't see a
definition in the standard NT env-var def panel that looks like that.
Sorry I can't provide more error message details at this point
since this happens on a host in a highly secured office, where
emailing this list could have me promptly dismissed. If it helps I
can refresh my memory and provide more details on this tomorrow.
Meanwhile, if anyone has a clue......
