Follow-up Comment #5, bug #40344 (project make): For the record, the place where the long file name causes trouble is in name_mtime, where Make calls stat to get the file's time stamp. It looks like Windows prepends the current directory to the file name, without paying attention to the fact that the leading string of ../../.. makes the absolute file name shorter. The result of prepending the current directory is longer than 259 characters, so stat fails, and Make treats the file as non-existent.
One possible workaround is to use $(abspath), but I didn't try that. _______________________________________________________ Reply to this item at: <http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?40344> _______________________________________________ Message sent via/by Savannah http://savannah.gnu.org/ _______________________________________________ Bug-make mailing list Bug-make@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-make
