Unable to complie

I can't even get it to build even without making any edits...

Are you connected to the internet? Also, try closing off VScode then open again. Is this the first time you are trying to compile the code within VScode?

Try looking at this information I got it to compile on my BTT SKR E3 Mini V1.2 https://www.reddit.com/r/ender3/comments/dojh3v/guide_for_those_upgrading_to_an_skr_e3_mini_v12/

Keeping the whole folder for marlin etc at the root of c:\ and right clicking on the folder and removing all read only solved a LOT of problems for me and others I've suggested it to. If it still won't work, you need to downgrade platformio and it's core to previous version. (extensions>click platformio cog>install another version)

If it still won't work, you need to downgrade platformio and it's core to previous version.

This has been patched in PIO as well as Marlin, so downgrading is no longer required. Make sure you’re using the later supported IDE like VSCode/VSCodium and not Atom since PIO dropped support for it.

I also had this problem, found the solution, and also helped a couple of other people. Instead of rewriting the whole solution, here is a pasting of a previous post of mine:

I also just experienced this problem, using VSCode and PlatformIO. After hours of not knowing what I was doing wrong, with a little research, I've found the fix, and the fix is irritatingly simple. It appears that some part of the Windows environment is encountering a filename or path name limit, and all you have to do is rename the folder/folders to something shorter than "BIGTREETECH-SKR-mini-E3-master". I went to the extreme and actually pulled the "BIGTREETECH-SKR-mini-E3-master\firmware\V1.2\Marlin-2.0.x-SKR-Mini-E3-V1.2" folder out of the main folder structure (to further reduce the path name size), renamed the "Marlin-2.0.x-SKR-Mini-E3-V1.2" folder to just "Marlin-2.0.x", and opened the renamed "Marlin-2.0.x" folder as a project in VSCode, and it now builds and works just as expected, and doesn't fail to build anymore.

It appears in the future, BTT is going to have to reduce the large number of characters in the folder names, to accommodate the Windows environment limits.

DR Danke

I have been searching all afternoon... THANK YOU !!!!

[dan-youd]

Thanks DoctorDanke,

I've finally got around to installing this board today and needed to recompile firmware so that it knew I had a BLTouch and I got the exact same error. I renamed the folders and it worked first time.

I think BTT need to take a look at some of these smaller avoidable issues.

Dr Danke,

You are a lifesaver (or at least sanity saver) why oh why did they do that?

[FJJWFP]

Are you kidding me. How on earth did you possibly think of this. Path too long. Well at least we know how to compile them now. Funny thing, I could compile the 256k version, but not the 512k version, supposedly my path was "512k" (4 characters) too long.

[Gearhead-42]

Thanks Doc, brilliant find. Had me pulling my hair out til I came across this!
