[vtk-developers] CMake, VTK, & AR problems

[Randall Hand]

Well, in Windows it is of course "cmd.exe".  On the *nix systems, it's
either Bash or Tcsh.

The main problem is that increasing the environment space is a) Impossible,
or b) Not allowed.  On windows I can't find any way that I can expand my
environment space, thereby increasing my max commandline length.. On unix, I
don't have permissions to change it.

Attempting to request such a change through our admins results in "Run it
manually by hand", which is what i've been having to do.
