Win32 VC project files don't like paths with spaces in them
Last modified: 2009-08-15 18:40:50 UTC
Win32 project files don't like paths with spaces in them, e.g. When building a project from a path like: "c:\documents and settings\me\source\my project\" errors are generated. To fix this, apply the following diff, and change other project files which might also have this problem. The file, libxml2\win32\dsp\libxml2.dsp needs to be updated like this: --- libxml2.dsp.orig Mon Mar 4 18:18:12 2002 +++ libxml2.dsp Tue Mar 5 23:42:31 2002 @@ -158,8 +158,8 @@ # Begin Custom Build InputPath=.\libxml2.def.src -"libxml2.def" : $(SOURCE) "$(INTDIR)" "$(OUTDIR)" - cl /I"..\.." /I"..\..\include" /nologo /EP $(InputPath) > libxml2.def +"libxml2.def" : "$(SOURCE)" "$(INTDIR)" "$(OUTDIR)" + cl /I"..\.." /I"..\..\include" /nologo /EP "$(InputPath)" > libxml2.def # End Custom Build @@ -170,8 +170,8 @@ # Begin Custom Build InputPath=.\libxml2.def.src -"libxml2.def" : $(SOURCE) "$(INTDIR)" "$(OUTDIR)" - cl /I"..\.." /I"..\..\include" /nologo /EP $(InputPath) > libxml2.def +"libxml2.def" : "$(SOURCE)" "$(INTDIR)" "$(OUTDIR)" + cl /I"..\.." /I"..\..\include" /nologo /EP "$(InputPath)" > libxml2.def # End Custom Build
Seems Igor the maintainer of the Windows port objects modifying those files which are generated by Visual Studio. I can't help on this bug which is not GNOME related. You should subscribe to the mailing list and discuss with Igor about this. http://mail.gnome.org/archives/xml/2002-March/msg00058.html thanks, Daniel
I don't think I can make progress about this here, let's close this bug report, Daniel
