Hello all. I am terribly sorry to bother you with those stupied problem
which is:
I am working on Win2k platform with MinGW 3.1.0 (Environment variable path
C:\Mingw\bin)with Eclipse-SDK-3.1-win32 and CDT3.1
While compiling some code there are no compilation errors only a warnings,
but in lower console window thre is a next output:

The input line is too long.
mingw32-make: *** [Sip1.exe] Error 255

I looked over the cdt forum here and everywhere i could but i didn't find
an exact answer to my questions: About what input line we are talking? How
do I handle this "Error 255 - The input line is too long" issue.
Thanks and sorry for bothering.

It appears to me that this message is from mingw32-make, not from the
CDT. It seems likely that there's a very long line in your Makefile. If
not, perhaps you should search the MinGW site for information about this
message.

Yes. Don't use mingw32-make. This is a horribly limited version of make
that won't work well with the CDT. Install msys and use the make from there.
