Summary0014262: "source code directory path length is too long" error. max is 50.
Descriptionwith a path to the source code set to ...
    
c:/productsTFS/Shared Components/.NET/ITK/InsightToolkit-4.3.1/InsightToolkit-4.3.1/

running CMake and selecting Configure, the error message in the summary is generated.
Steps To Reproduceplace ITK (or any other source) in a path that exceeds the 50 character length.
run CMake
select the path to the CMakeLists.txt file
select the path to the Build directory
select Configure

(error message is generated).
Additional Informationreplacing the end of the directory path ("InsightToolkit-4.3.1/InsightToolkit-4.3.1") with "ITK4.3.1" reduces the number of characters in the path to source and the Configure is then allowed to succeed.

The error message comes from CMakeLists.txt code in ITK, not from CMake.

Furthermore, the limit comes from path lengths used within ITK's source and build trees that exceed the Windows maximum path length limit (VS hits these internally during the build). You simply can't build ITK in a longer path.

Either way, this is not a CMake issue so I'm resolving it as "no change required".
