you ran ?
git submodule update --init --recursive

[DeadShotProdigy]

Yep, ran git submodule and i still get this error, tried a fresh clone on two different comps but i get this same issue.

Also tried the 0.4.1 java file which didn't work.

0.3.0 works flawlessly for me.

Same issue with me. Tried to make a build/run with the latest fix from the fork and got the same problem

Might just be a windows thing? Filepaths max out at 260 characters last I heard.

@Forty-Tw0 seems like it is indeed the case. Rather unfortunate I can't run the bot at the moment due to the circling around blacklisted pokestop forever.

I got this issue too http://pastebin.com/Q0qDhD7p
I'd love a new prebuilt...

Clone repo in a higher directory (eg C:\). This is a known Windows issue.
