I build NetBeans regularly on Windows, without problems. Where are your NetBeans sources located? Perhaps the path is too deeply nested into folders, breaking a path name limit somewhere.
(In my case, my NetBeans sources are located in a folder called "Z:\nbsrc\incubator-netbeans", and my Java folder is at "C:\Program Files\Java\zulu-8.0.181".) -- Eirik -----Original Message----- From: Korney Czukowski <[email protected]> Sent: Sunday, March 8, 2020 3:13 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Issues building on Windows Hi, Is there anybody else out there who still uses Windows while working on NetBeans? I'm asking because I've hit a notorious 'java.io.IOException: CreateProcess error=206, The filename or extension is too long.' error while trying to build PHP Editor module, the tests build to be more specific. It doesn't occur with a full build and I've edited a few other modules just as well, guess they were not large enough for this error to appear. The command I used to build: ant -v -f php/php.editor build (or ant -v -f php/php.editor clean build, the result is the same). Note, without -v it just says: "common.xml:627: Error running C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_212\bin\javac.exe compiler" without any details [1]. In verbose mode it shows large lists of files for '-classpath' and '-processorpath' arguments in compilation arguments as well as the actual exception. I've tried to modify the build script to have it generate a jar file with a manifest and use that in a classpath using Ant Manifestclasspath task, but it didn't work as it's failed to generate relative paths to all the jars in the original classpath. It would also seem like Ant Javac task can use @argfile with the compiler to pass long command line arguments, but apparently it doesn't happen with Nb-javac. Is there anything I can do to enable it, is there any other workaround, or am I out of luck? Thanks.
