Path length issues when pip installing on windows 10

[nathlacroix]

I attempted to install chromobius using pip install chromobius on a windows 10 machine. after solving a few issues related to the compiler in use, I ran into a path length issue (as far as I understand from the log file) during the build. I move the temp file of pip to C:\temp to make it shorter, but some paths are still too long, for instance:

The object file directory

          C:/temp/pip-install-ya7oy53x/chromobius_560b8381891845748e000b31d42e795e/b/temp.win-amd64-cpython-311/Release/chromobius/b/temp.win-amd64-cpython-311/Release/chromobius/_deps/pymatching-src/CMakeFiles/pymatching_perf.dir/./

        has 223 characters.  The maximum full path to an object file is 250
        characters (see CMAKE_OBJECT_PATH_MAX).  Object file


          src/pymatching/perf/main.perf.cc.obj

        cannot be safely placed under this directory.  The build may not work
        correctly.

it seems to me that 47 characters of the file path is actually repeated; b/temp.win-amd64-cpython-311/Release/chromobius/b/temp.win-amd64-cpython-311/Release/chromobius, and removing those could solve my problem (it seems from further in the log file that it misses some files).

Note: the windows long path environment variable is activated.

the full output is attached for reference; output_log_chromobius.txt
