i'm using plan9port mk on linux and just hit the environment+argument
length limit -- linux' execve($PLAN9/bin/rc, ... ) returns E2BIG because
$newprereq gets too large.
how do i work around? is there an idiomatic way of splitting up $newprereq
into smaller chunks?
the mkfile is:
TIMESTAMP_FILE:
for (i in $newprereq)
do_stuff $i
<|./generate-rules-for-files PATTERN
where ./generate-rules-for-files outputs rules like TIMESTAMP_FILE:
file_matching_pattern
