Please, do not release another version of Quartus until you fix the file length problem in windows - Please, do not release another version of Quartus until you fix the file length problem in windows No discussion, just don't know why this is still a problem in 2026. You cant add an emif interface to your project with the file length making the project worthless because it cant compile. Do the auto generated file names need to be so verbose? Replies: Re: Please, do not release another version of Quartus until you fix the file length problem in windows Thank You. I guess my point was, knowing it is a limit of windows, why create automated generated file names like this... ..\baseline-a55\ip\hps_subsys\emif_io96b_hps\emif_io96b_hps_emif_io96b_hps_420_pcm7idi\synth\emif_io96b_hps_emif_io96b_hps_420_pcm7idi\emif_io96b_hps_emif_io96b_hps_420_pcm7idi.v I couldn't get the Golden reference to build unless I had it right at the c drive. I guess that was really what I was getting at. But looks like there is a check box at start up I missed at installation Replies: Re: Please, do not release another version of Quartus until you fix the file length problem in windows Hi dscoope , We are glad to hear that your issue is resolved.

I want present when corporate IT installed it. I will see what I need o do to get it reinstalled Replies: Re: Please, do not release another version of Quartus until you fix the file length problem in windows Looks like it was fixed, my apologies. Didn't realize that was part of the install. Our corporate IT installs so I was not there to see it when it happens. I will go back to IT to see if I can get that fixed. I wonder why they didn't just make this default. this is basically a check box asking. " Do you want to be able to build your project anywhere other then then directly off of the C drive without error on windows."

May I also check whether the issue is still persisting on your side? If so, feel free to let me know the current status and I will be happy to assist further. Regards, ZiYingE_Altera Replies: Re: Please, do not release another version of Quartus until you fix the file length problem in windows Are you referring to the maximum file path length? If so, this is a Windows limitation. Windows limits the combined length of a file name and its path to 260 characters. If your project path exceeds this limit, Quartus may be unable to access the required IP or design files. Additionally, the Quartus Prime Pro 26.1 installer includes an option to enable Windows Long Path Support by default. Older installers may not provide this option. Alternatively, you can refer to the KDB below for instructions on enabling long path support in Windows. If the issue persists after enabling long path support, could you share more details, such as the exact compilation error message or logs?
