BUILD FAILED

i’ve try to googling the solution but i cant find it,
maybe in this forum someone can help me…
thanks in advance :slight_smile:

Are there any solutions for this one?

CreateProcess error=206, The filename or extension is too long
I think you can search for this error message

Shortly summarized

  • Use a better operating system (Linux)
  • Or enable long paths in Windows (Google will tell you how)
  • Or shorten paths by moving your project up in directory history

Windows has a very small limit for command line lengths.
