M Markos Well-Known Member Licensed User Longtime User Mar 22, 2017 #1 Hi All, I'm experiencing a serious problem with host builder timing out or reporting filename length errors. I've attached the message relating to the latter. Now I will expand on the filename or path length exceeded error which is incorrect firstly as the filepath+name is less than 100 characters yet the compiler states it exceeds 260 characters. I found a work around by putting my project and key folders closer to the root of the drive. But then I encountered the compiler timing out and the temporary files reaching 1gig in size even for a skeleton project. Has anyone experienced this ever? I have not until I upgraded to v3.6 I don't know if it is just a coincidence and the host builder is acting up. The host builder is great and most convenient if we don't want the extra expense and hassle of buying and configuring a Mac but when these issues arise and then just go away after a long debate it makes you scratch your head. Anyway I'm getting frustrated not being able to compile or build and I need to know if this issue is isolated to me and or my User ID. Thanks in advance everyone Attachments error2.png 10.6 KB · Views: 462

D Deleted member 103 Guest Mar 22, 2017 #2 Hi Markos, Unfortunately this problem occurs not only with the hostbuilder, with my Mac mini it is also not much better. Often, this approach helps: 1. deinstall app 2. tool-> Clean project 3. start B4i again Upvote 0
