Description

Hey, I've checked out this repo to D:\Rivermax, and I'm trying to build the sample
D:\Rivermax\rmx_api_demo_apps\rmx_input_api\rmx_receive_demo_app
to a standard CMake output directory
D:\Rivermax\rmx_api_demo_apps\rmx_input_api\rmx_receive_demo_app\Build
This results in 260 character path errors such as in the subject of this issue.

Workaround is of course to build to a directory closer to the root of the drive, but this will likely catch people initially. Would be good if this was mentioned in the build instructions, or the nested and directory names were reduced to avoid it and allow a more standard build destination.
Thanks
