RE: [cdt-debug-dev] Building CDT from sources
|
John,
Isn't this only a limitation with Windows 2000 and older? I don't think
that XP has the same problem does it? I know that I have build issues
on my 2000 test machine that I haven't seen on my XP box.

Subject: [cdt-debug-dev] Building CDT from sources
I know this isn't the most appropriate mailing list for this question,
but this list has low traffic and I'm not eager to go on eclipse.org and
initiate a new subscription for one question. So, please bare with me.
We're building CDT from source, using the same script/ANT files used to
generate the eclipse.org releases. We've had to do these builds from the
root of the c drive (c:\cdt) to avoid exceeding the Windows 260 path
limit.
The root of C is not a natural location for our build environment, so we
have to do it as a temporary copy thing. Bottom line is that it's ugly
and prone to error (the "copy-back" to its natural location fails if
you, e.g., open a file in the tree during the build and leave it open).
Has anyone else hit this path limit issue and is there no other
reasonable solution other than ensuring the build root is in a shallow
file-system location?
John
