"File or path name too long" Date: Fri, 10 Mar 2000 06:34:00 -0000 Message-id: <20000310143409.2206.qmail@web117.yahoomail.com> X-SW-Source: 2000-03/msg00212.html The path size limit is set by MAX_PATH and is a limitation of the M$ Windows system. It's set to 260 which is the NT limit including the terminating NULL. I believe the limit to be 259 for Win9x (at least Win95). --- Derek Haskin wrote: > I have installed Cygwin 1.0 on a new Machine. > > I am experiencing a problem where it seems that I am reaching the limit on > how long a path/filename can be. > I first experienced this during "make" which tries to create a class file > but can;t because the pathname/filename is too long. > -8<- ===== --- Earnie Boyd: < mailto:earnie_boyd@yahoo.com > __Cygwin: POSIX on Windows__ Cygwin Newbies: < http://www.freeyellow.com/members5/gw32/index.html > __Minimalist GNU for Windows__ Mingw32 List: < http://www.egroups.com/group/mingw32/ > Mingw Home: < http://www.mingw.org/ > __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
