    • Windows 7 + Qt Creator 3.2.0 + snapshot 5.3.2 (MingGW 4.8.2)

    Description

      I have a "make clean" rule that fails since the command line is very long (9396 characters).

      Windows declare that the maximum length of a command line is 8191 characters.

      When I copy paste my command line inside a console, Windows truncate at 8295 characters in the middle of a path and that makes the command line fail.
