QT-6.10 command line too long when building
-
Using QT-6.10 and MSVC 2022 (64 bit compiler) for building QGroundControl.
Upon building, getting the following error as shown in the image.
Newbie in QT and GUI development. Fair idea of CMake.

Tried moving the project closer to root to make path shorter. Still no luck.

You are using "NMake Makefiles JOM" generator for CMake. Try with Ninja, maybe it doesn't hit the "command line is too long" issue.
Otherwise, you can configure Qt Creator to use junction points for CMake source and build directories. See https://doc.qt.io/qtcreator/creator-build-settings-cmake.html#using-junction-points-on-windows
You would have to reconfigure your project from scratch, but it should help bypass the long paths issue on Window.
