<div dir="ltr">After trying to build latest version of ITK I ran into this build issue<br><div><br>CMake Error at CMakeLists.txt:28 (message):<br> ITK build directory path length is too long (56 > 50).Please set the ITK<br>

<a href="http://www.cmake.org/Bug/view.php?id=14262">http://www.cmake.org/Bug/view.php?id=14262</a><br><br></div><div>which was posted in 2013... pretty recent considering that I have build ITK in paths much worse that above and it worked just fine. <br>
<br>I am left in dumbfounded amazement that this bug was closed with reason:<br><br>>> ======<br><a name="bugnotes" id="bugnotes">The error message comes from CMakeLists.txt code in ITK, not from CMake. <br>
<br>
Furthermore, the limit comes from path lengths used within ITK's source
and build trees that exceed the Windows maximum path length limit (VS
hits these internally during the build). You simply can't build ITK in a
longer path.<br>
<br>
Either way, this is not a CMake issue so I'm resolving it as "no change required".</a><br>>> ======<br><br></div><div>Well we simply built it prior 2013 in longer paths so it simply can be built! What changed?<br>
</div><div><br></div><div>Wow that's great! Should I change my path to C:\ ??? .... I am going to get on that right now.<br><br></div></div>
