KIS000600 - Compilation fails with long project paths

From Forum Nokia Wiki


Compilation fails with long project paths
KIS000600
Overview
If the length of the path for project files is too long, the build process may fail.
Category
Symbian C++
Subcategory
SDK & Tools
Reported against
S60 1st Edition
S60 2nd Edition
S60 3rd Edition
Series 80 2nd Edition
Date identified
March 8, 2007
Symptoms
-
Detailed description
Typically this problem occurs when the project source files are located in a  deep directory structure that is not under the SDK installation directory.
Build scripts use relative paths when referring to makefiles, for example:
"..\..\..\..\..\..\Symbian\9.1\S60_3rd_MR\EPOC32\BUILD\<project_path>\<platform>\<target>"
If the project path is too long, these paths may cause the maximum length of the command line to be exceeded.
Depending on the build target (compiler), the error displayed in this case is either ’File or path name too long’ or ’No such file or directory’.
How to reproduce
-
Solution
Move the project files to a location with a shorter path and try to rebuild.
