I am trying to build LibreOffice and it does not appear to be working. After a while of building I keep getting the following echoed to the console constantly. Usually in-between build target echos:

/usr/bin/sh: -c: line 0: unexpected EOF while looking for matching `"'
/usr/bin/sh: -c: line 1: syntax error: unexpected end of file
I looked into it using a shell override, the debug make flag, and a script (which I used as the shell, source below)
#!/bin/sh
echo "$*" >&2
sh "$@"
And determined that somehow, when CreateProcess(D:\cygwin64\bin\sh.exe,D:/cygwin64/bin/sh.exe -c "printf \"%s\n\" \"{gigantic list of space separated paths}\" >> D:/cygwin64/tmp/gbuild.cgwaBE ",...) is called, the input "argument" is getting truncated. I am assuming that things are not getting build due to this. Does anyone know how to fix this? I am not proficient with c++ build tools.

that's some good investigation :)

it's a well known problem, and it looks like for you the *workaround* for the problem doesn't work, which is odd ...

the command must be this from Tempfile.mk

        $(eval gb_var2file_helpervar := $(shell printf "%s\n" "$(gb_var2file_curblock)" >> $(1) )

... however: on Windows you should be using a GNU make 4.0 or newer, where Tempfile.mk would use the built-in $(file) function to write.

somehow you're using make 3.81 or 3.82, which does work on unixes but apparently not on Windows, and since we have LODE to download a newer make automatically it's not worth fixing that.

i think we should check for this in configure:
