Re: [Fwd: How to handle "The following character string is too long... NMAKE : fatal error U1077: 'echo' : return code '0x1'" problem while compiling XEmacs?]

I've checked out and saw that:

http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=3Dkb;en-us;830473

"On computers running Microsoft Windows 2000 or Windows NT 4.0, the=20
maximum length of the string that you can use at the command prompt is=20
2047 characters."

So how can I compile XEmacs for Windows (I need to that because I need=20
mule support).
