Re: Programming FAQ

Q. I get an error when i try to compile:
Quote:
Error - Source file 'C:\path\that's\too\long\for\the\compiler\ifi_util ities.c' name exceeds file format maximum of 62 characters.
How do I fix this?

A. Don't put the code on the Desktop or My Documents. Here's why:

MCC18, the compiler, can only handle paths that are less than 62 characters long. Here is a few paths to the Desktop and My Documents (with the first 62 in green and everything else in red):
  • C:\Documents and Settings\Kristin & Steve\Desktop\FIRST Code\Default code\ifi_utilities.c
  • D:\Documents and Settings\Astronouth7303\My Documents\Robotics stuff\codes\Default code\main.c
A better place to put it would be C:\Code\Default Code\.
