title: How to use response files with Embarcadero Make.exe
body: <p>I'm building a project via the commandline tools of C++Builder XE5, but there are too many object files so the output is:</p>
  
  <pre><code>MAKE Version 5.4  Copyright (c) 1987, 2010 Embarcadero Technologies, Inc.
      ilink64 ...........
  
  Fatal: Command arguments too long
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>How do I get around this problem?</p>
  
  <p>(Meta note: I'm about to answer my own question, but it took me ages to figure this out as the official documentation was not very illuminating so I am posting this Q-A in case it helps anyone else with the same problem).</p>
