Hmm...  It could actually be in one of three or all three places.  It could be
the bash shell as you say, it could be the individual executable, or possibly
even Cygwin itself.

My advise: Use the source, Luke, use the source.  Then, submit patches so
others won't have the problem.

Yes.  It's a know problem in the CD.  I didn't have time to fix it
before the CD was pressed.  It should be fixed in later snapshots.

That just means that you already have the source code packaged in one place a
readily available.  It's still an open source project.

I'll have to give your scenario a whirl.  BTW, please report to the list and
not directly to me.  I'm simply a meer user lending some advice.  If you report
to the list then you'll help everyone envolved with Cygwin.

Has anyone else on the list seen this before?

[Earnie Boyd]

Hi Derek,

Yes, I'm suggesting that you debug the Cygwin code.  This is an open source
project with very few contributors.  We need all the help we can get on
debugging, so if you're having a problem that is uncommon to others then you
should help debug the code and submit patches.  If you're patches are extensive
then you must submit the proper release forms find out the cygwin webpage.

Earnie.

RE: Bug. "File or path name too long"

[Derek Haskin]

Earnie thanks for the quick response. But I think I should have provided you
with more information.

The path/file name I am passing is 117 characters in length which is under
the 259 character limit.

From a dos command prompt I ran two commands. The first using dos "dir"
command which works fine.
Then I ran the ls command using the same parameter and I get the "File or
path name too long" problem.
So to me this indicates that it is a problem specific to the bash shell
commands.

I get the same problem when I use other bash shell commands such as "cp".

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).

Bug. "File or path name too long"

[Derek Haskin]

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.

I also found the same problem when I try to do an ls.

I also have a beta version of cygnus installed which does not have this
problem.

Please advise me on how this can be fixed.

THIS WORKS

> ls ../../../../../../../classes/com/commerceone/ccs/doclet/registrati
on/Registration_sox/AlternateTradin1234567
../../../../../../../classes/com/commerceone/ccs/doclet/registration/Registr
atio

THIS DOES NOT WORK

ls:

ation_sox/AlternateTradin12345678: File or path name too long
Note this is just one more charater, and this file does exist in the
location.
