Q: Why does Make behave as if some of the files were not there?
PKZIP
) that truncate long names, even on Windows 9X, when they open an archive, which leaves you with names like alongfil.cc, which is not the same as the original
name when LFN is supported. Be sure to use archivers that support long filenames, e.g. use DJTAR when you open .tar.gz archives, or rename all the files to their original
long names after you open the archive. If the problems persist even though the filenames are correct, upgrade to DJGPP v2.01 or later, where all programs should support long filenames properly. If you cannot upgrade, you will have to disable LFN support (set LFN=n from the DOS prompt, setting it in DJGPP.ENV does not always work in DJGPP v2.0).
