Workaround until this is fixed: try running in a Linux VM.

It would be great if you could help find the workaround yotta used! :)

@screamerbg : use the Unicode process creation API in python (32k path limit versus 260 characters path limit).

I am hitting the error even with a folder C:/5 for morpheus code example. It used to be fine before we merge few more modules in, now I can't link a program :( This is a blocker for me now.

# imported mbed-Client-Morpheus-from-source
C:\5
python neo.py compile -m K64F -t GCC_ARM
[neo.py] Working path "C:\5" (program)
# lot of compilation here
Link: 5
[ERROR] [Error 87] The parameter is incorrect

Unless someone objects, I'll try to fix this today, at least for GCC, since it's clearly a blocker for some people.

@bogdanm https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/commandline/wsl/about (run native Ubuntu on Windows - no VM needed any more)

@meriac, I think that only works in Windows 10 though :(

A partial fix for the command line problem is in ARMmbed/mbed-os#43. It's partial because it only covers linking. That seems to work for now, but in the future it might have to be extended for compilation too. In any case, I'm closing this for now, since this particular issue is solved by that commit.

Working now, the example which failed previously. Thanks
