ERROR: UDESym.Database: The file resolves to a path that is too long. The maximum length is 260 characters !
This error message was caused by UDE® symbol engine database. The appropriate database file is located to deep inside the systems path.
Background:
UDE® stores data from ELF file inside this database. Usually the database (*.sdf) is located in the same directory as the ELF file.
To resolve the problem, place the ELF file in a directory with a shorter path. The length (incl. *.elf) should not exceed 235 characters. If this isn't feasible, you may place UDE® symbol database in another directory, see below.
If you get this message despite short path, then your ELF file might be located on a mapped drive (e.g. a ram-drive or a ClearCase Repository). In this case you should place the symbol database on a local drive (e.g. temp folder).
Change symbol database path:
- Open UDE®, select menu Config - Debug server configuration
- Tab Symbol - Database directory
- Select Other and browse a shorter/local path
