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.
