Too long }}} The command is pretty long since it includes all the .obj files from src/* and subdirectories. However, there's a bigger problem too: msvc doesn't have an ""ar.exe"" program to run. That appears to be a GNU-only utility. So this ticket has two parts: - How can we shrink the size of that commandline? - What is the equivalent program for ar.exe in microsoft land?" bug closed blocker 1.8 build 1.7.0 release invalid msvc win32 </li>
