I observed a path length limitation under NT. You can't create the file with this long file name even "by hand", can you?
I found this on Microsofts C++ help: #define _MAX_PATH 260 /* max. length of full pathname */ #define _MAX_DRIVE 3 /* max. length of drive component */ #define _MAX_DIR 256 /* max. length of path component */ #define _MAX_FNAME 256 /* max. length of file name component */ #define _MAX_EXT 256 /* max. length of extension component */ Vera On Fri, 23 Nov 2001 15:09:24 +0000, Gawain Hammond <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: >I'm trying to check out some code from CVS, that another perosn checked >in. but when I checkout the module, although no error is returned, one >particular file is never updated, but on everyone else's client it is. >We eventually worked out the problem; I use a deeper path to check the >files out, and therefore at our project's deepest directory level >combined with where I check code out to, one particular file name + the >path to that file = 256 characters, and CVS won't check it out under NT. > >does anyone know a way around this path limit on NT?
