See my post in learn on dmd path. The dmd path code was
written in 1987 and could do with an update to process longer
windows paths properly. We are working on this and I guess a
chance a pull request on Monday but it depends on what else
comes up. In any case it's a trivial fix.
Presuming I am right about it being a path length problem.
I did! But i didn't say anything because i wasn't sure if they
were related. I'm pretty sure it is path related because the
exact same dub.sdl files work fine on Linux and MacOS. (It's a
cross platform project)
Glad it is a trivial fix. Curious what it involves. Let me
know if I can help out in any way. Mike Parker was kind enough
to show me a manual dub local workaround for this issue. But
I'll hold off now and see if your change does the fix.
If it does, it will be the best timed bug fix ever :)
Turned out to be more fiddly than I hoped because of unicode.
Atila did the work, but it's awaiting a pre-review to be sure
it's okay before submitting. In case it's helpful in the
meantime, it seems to work (but use at your own risk):
