[parisc-linux] linux-2.3 mkdep

[parisc-linux] linux-2.3 mkdep

[Thierry SIMONNET]

After my holidays, I synchronized my CVS directories.
I have found a problem when I do "make dep" : scripts/mkdep : Arg list too
long.
I have encoutered this problem with fist versions of parisc-linux 2.3.99
version.

My development platform was : HP712/80 under HP-UX 10.20

TX for your help

oh, blast.  i guess we need to refrob the Makefile to use xargs.  Damn,
damn damn damn.  I took that out in the recent merge because it conflicted
with a change from upstream.

i can't persuade you to use linux on an x86 instead...?  ah well :-)

Pretty sure there's a tunable parameter to boost the argv size on hp-ux.
It's rather useless right out of the box.

Assuming you have the right patches installed, you should have a
"large_ncargs_enabled" (IIRC, I don't have a HP-UX box handy at the
moment) tunable parameter.  Set it to 1.  (Note that this is only on
HP-UX 10.20 with the right patches...  In 11.0, they use a larger
buffer for argv by default.)
