Unable to build Kotlin - 'The filename or extension is too long'

1

I just recently installed JDK 7 as well as IntelliJ on my machine, and I haven't been able to build Kotlin because of the error below. Has anyone been able to fix this error?

Here’s the build log on my local machine, which is running Windows 8 and is using the JDK 7:

I would say my set up is identical to your machine (Windows 8, JDK 1.7, ant 1.9.3), but still there's no problems with running build even after moving folder with project to longer path

Probably the most suspicious string in your description is

$ /c/apache-ant-1.9.3/bin/ant -f build.xml
Did you run the command in cmd?

Hi Nickolay,

I have run it from both cmd.exe, as well as MINGW just to make sure that it wasn’t an issue that was limited to only cmd.exe. I still get the same error in from both CLIs.

I see, thank you. In fact I tried MINGW, but it didn't reveal any problems on my machine too. The best thing I can suggest is to re-check that default Java is 1.7, and try everything from the very begining on c disk, just because I have one disk and this is the only difference between our machines I can see now :)

Internet menitions long class-path as the source for this class of errros, but I don’t see how this can be a problem in this particular script. You can print the classpath by modifing build.xml

274:  <target name="builtins">
275:    <cleandir dir="${output}/builtins"/>
276:    <echo message="${toString:classpath}"/>
277:    <java classname="org.jetbrains.jet.utils.builtinsSerializer.BuiltinsSerializerPackage" failonerror="true" fork="true">
          <classpath>
            <path refid="classpath"/>
            <pathelement location="${bootstrap.compiler.home}/lib/kotlin-compiler.jar"/>
          </classpath>
          <assertions>
            <enable/>
          </assertions>
          <arg value="${output}/builtins"/>
          <arg value="core/builtins/native"/>
          <arg value="core/builtins/src"/>
        </java>
      </target>

You can use “Long Path Tool” !

Cannot run program “c:

tension is too long

That looks fishy to me: Shouldn’t be there backslashes?
