compile error "Invalid argument" because of long path?

[sslsslssl]

It seems the max path just about 150 bytes.can I use the other directory instead of the BUILD directory?for example:use "C:\Build" instead of "C:\Symbian\9.1\S60_3rd_MR\Epoc32\BUILD".
or is there other way to deal with this problem?

You can install the SDK to a shorter path - however I do not know how to do that on an already installed one. It is also possible to move the project itself as close to the root as possible. The maximum length of path is about 255 characters, however you should also count some implied characters too. For example when you see something like

..\..\..\..\..\..\..\Symbian\S60_3rd\epoc32\BUILD\Projects\Work\one\two\three\four\group

, the full path is

\Projects\Work\one\two\three\four\group\..\..\..\..\..\..\..\Symbian\S60_3rd\epoc32\BUILD\Projects\Work\one\two\three\four\group

, which is a bit longer

Hi,
Another way of overcoming this problem is to map your epoc32 root path to some virtual drive for eg: if your SDK is installed in say D: drive then it may be something like this
D:\Symbian\S60_3_0\epoc32
you can map your EPOCROOT to some virtual drive like
D:>Symbian\S60_3_0>subst x: .
x:>epoc32
Hope this will solve your problem of long path name.

thanks for your help。I move the child project to the root project。it works well.
