I can’t seem to find out why this error is occurring. Does anyone know how to fix this? when I try to build the code it gives me this:

The directory where you are storing your code is too long for the compiler to handle. Move your stuff to a shorter directory such as c:\code\

The limit is 63 characters, if I remember correctly.

ah… yes. Why didn’t I think of that before? had that problem with the last compiler too… thanks for finding that out! I would have never… the last compiler actually told you that the line was too long… too bad this one doesnt.

Yeah I was just waiting for someone to answer my post about this.

wait no. That still didnt do it. My message is a little differnt too. Mine says

Mine said this for a while, too. Go into the project build options (Project > Build Options… > Project), then hit “Suite Defaults”. This should fix the problem.

sweet! People in another thread have been giving me a million different paths to type in there, and all this time all I had to do was hit default. Of course the name is still too long, but I can fix that! Thanks!

Sorry about that, I thought you’d already tried Jamie’s suggestion.
