Win98 - Out of Environment Space

Win98 - Out of Environment Space

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 457 bytes --]

I cannot meta-X compile... At home I am stuck on Win98 for the time
being.

I am trying to run Ant inside emacs, but really every script fails....

How can I get emacs to allocate a shell with the right environment
space?? 
I edited a PIF for command.com but that does not help. When I open a
regular DOS shell outside emacs  I can run Ant there just fine.

But I need to run it in emacs.... Any help would be greatly
appreciated!!

"command.com /e:4000" should start an inferior shell with 4000 bytes
of environment space.

Hey cool.. what emacs variable do I set to make it do this all the time?
Calling it inferior is being TOO NICE....

I don't know, since you didn't say how do you invoke Ant or the shell.

One possible way is to define a variable called
explicit-command.com-args, and give it the value "/e:4000".  Then the
command "M-x shell" will pass that argument automatically to
COMMAND.COM.

I run ant with M-X compile...

I tried to use the Customize Emacs menu to do it, "Explicit Shell
Filename" but that put emacs in a weird state, it wouldn't quit and
dumped a bunch of garbage to the mini-buffer! Anyways, so I backed out
those changes.

There is also an "Exlpicit cSh Args"... but that indicates only for csh,
not command.com.

I will give your suggestion a try, setting it in my .emacs like this:

(setq explicit-command.com-args "/e:4000")

unfortunately I have to wait until I get home tonight to try out my
INFERIOR POS shell.

Thanks for your suggestions!

Then you should be able to customize the variable compile-command to
use "command.com /e:4000 /c ant.exe" (assuming the program you invoke
is ant.exe).
