Synopsis: Precompiled directory name containing space cannot be used
Description
Attempting to compile a project that uses a precompiled library fails if the path to the precompiled library contains a space. There seems to be no workaround other than to place the precompiled library in a directory that has no spaces n its path. For example, this fails during freezing: precompiled ("C:\Eiffel\Office\Project excel2003_vision2") Preparing C compilation... big_file_C1_c.c eoption.c epattern.c efrozen.c ecall.c eplug.c eskelet.c evisib.c ececil.c einit.c eparents.c 1 file(s) copied. emain.c NMAKE : fatal error U1073: don't know how to make 'C:\Eiffel\Office\Project' Stop. I tried adding escaped quotes, but this failed immediately: precompiled ("%"C:\Eiffel\Office\Project excel2003_vision2%"") ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Error code: VD42 Lace error: precompiled directory/file is unreadable. What to do: make sure that the directory/file exists and that appropriate permissions are set ("read" for files, "read/execute" for directories). Directory: "C:\Eiffel\Office\Project excel2003_vision2" ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Processed: 0 To go: 0 Total: 0
