Clarion5 error on compile

questions

I have a clarion app that has compiled fin in the past. Now when I try to Make, I get a popup that says:
“clarion for windows err.$$$(1) #3: cif$fileopen makem001.obj The system cannot find the path specified.”
As far as I know nothing has changed. The content of my red file is:

– Default Redirection for Clarion 5

[Debug16]
*.obj = %ROOT%\obj
*.res = %ROOT%\obj
*.rsc = %ROOT%\obj
*.dbd = %ROOT%\obj

[Release16]
*.obj = %ROOT%\obj\release;P:\Clarion5\obj\release
*.res = %ROOT%\obj\release
*.rsc = %ROOT%\obj\release

[Debug32]
*.obj = %ROOT%\obj32;P:\Clarion5\Obj32\
*.res = %ROOT%\obj32
*.rsc = %ROOT%\obj32

[Release32]
*.obj = %ROOT%\obj32\release;P:\Clarion5\Obj32\Release
*.res = %ROOT%\obj32\release;P:\Clarion5\Obj32\Release
*.rsc = %ROOT%\obj32\release;P:\Clarion5\Obj32\Release

moved Clarion5 from Drive P: to local drive C: and changed the red file but no luck. Created an empty c:\Clarion5\obj32\Release and tried to recompile. Looked in the Release folder and only the makem_rd.obj was created but the file length was zero(0).

Is it possible you don’t have 8.3 filenames enabled?

I had a strange problem like that in the past when I created a VM. The drive did not have 8.3 enabled by default. Here’s what I did:

This fixed me up (on my drive E:) -

fsutil behavior set Disable8dot3 E: 0

After I enabled 8.3 creation, it worked.

Error 0x19 when NTFS file system creates name in 8.3 format - Windows Server | Microsoft Learn

Next time I create a drive, I’ll check to see if that’s an option to
set.

One more thing this only happens on APP’s using Clarion Templates. APP’s using ABC Templates compile just fine.
