> Your problem can be even more easily solved by you following the
standard practice of installing mingw in c:/mingw and msys in c:/msys/1.0/
, neither of which has spaces.
Isn't that a bit short sighted? MythTV on it's on is configured to be
compiled in a highly flexible environment, but you seem not to be willing
to implement this for the win32 packager to apply to a default windows
environment using paths with spaces in filenames, other than installing a
second instance of MSys (in the C root or recoding all file paths to 8.3
filename styles and the script as well).
> If that offends you too much, then try using the 8.3 filenaming
convention for your directory - al-ah: c:\progra~1\MinGW\
Yes it does as I use that environment for other purposes as well, I would
think my suggestion would be a welcome addition to make the script more
fail proof, it is a pity that you are requiring a patch for every
suggestion I try to make as you seem to know the script a lot better than
I do.
> Unless you supply a fully tested patch for witespace support in paths,
it's not going to be changed, as the existing quoting mechanisms are
already complex enough ( with PERL, DOS, and UNIX path conventions all
already being used).
I'll see what I can do, but I am limited on time as much as you are I
guess.
> trac-master, please close this ticket as "wontfix".
I would suggest leaving this open for a while to give me time to prepare a
patch.
