Error: E2288 File name too long

Question

I am attempting to compile a Delphi project in TeamCity (http://www.jetbrains.com/teamcity/) using a command line runner. For each project, I get a "File name too long" error. The project(s) compile successfully in the Delphi IDE. I've even tried building the project from the buildagent directory (in this case: C:\TeamCity\buildAgent\work\cbe5a74bfd8678cb\iqwin_2013\Iqworkflow), and it compiles there as well. This particular command line build has also worked in the past on a different environment.

Error:

Answer 1

The problem ended up being a particular path (out of about 50, so it wasn't immediately evident) in my library path arguments that had a space in it, but was not in double-quotes.

Broken: C:\test folder\lib

Fixed: "C:\test folder\lib"
