[Debichem-devel] Bug#722511: FTBFS: maximum path length limited to 65 chars

[Michael Tautschnig]

Package: nwchem
Version: 6.3+r1-1
Severity: serious
Usertags: goto-cc

Building nwchem in a clean chroot resulted in the following surprising build
failure:

...
Making libraries in basis
 
The directory name chosen for NWCHEM_TOP is longer than 
the maximum allowed value of 65 characters
      current NWCHEM_TOP=/srv/jenkins-workspace/find-asm-atomics-pthread-nwchem/nwchem-6.1/src equal to 1 characters
please chose a directory with a shorter name
E.g., setenv NWCHEM_TOP /home/nwchem_user/nwchem
make[3]: *** [errorlongpwd] Error 1
make[2]: *** [libraries] Error 1
make[2]: Leaving directory `/srv/jenkins-workspace/find-asm-atomics-pthread-nwchem/nwchem-6.1/src'
make[1]: *** [override_dh_auto_build] Error 2

A path length limit of 65 characters is questionable at best.

Best,
Michael
