Thanks ... I updated and fixed the patch, and applied it.

It seems to work ... hopefully will save a lot of disappointments to new users. :-)

Thanks!

How about the attached patch? If make can't handle whitespace, users should be notified about this limitation.

(file #18144)

I think this is a more generic gnustep-make problem.

On windows, if the username home folder has spaces (usual, since instead of a login, people are identified by name and surname) a make will fail.

So more generally, make seems to have problems if the path contains spaces.

The category should be either ProjectCenter or Makefiles, depending on GNUstep's goals.

Steps to reproduce:

1. Install the current set of Windows installers:

- gnustep-system-0.22.0
- gnustep-core-0.22.0
- gnustep-devel-1.0.0
- SystemPreferences-1.0.2.7
- gorm-1.2.8
- ProjectCenter-0.5.0

2. Launch ProjectCenter, create an application from the template and hit the Build button. Give the project a name with a space in it, e.g. "Hello World".

3. In the upcoming build window, hit Build again.

4. Move the project into the reach of the shell coming with gnustep-system (inside C:\GNUstep\).

5. Launch this shell.

6. Type "make" and hit Enter.


Expected result:

The application is built.


Actual result:

Unrelated errors are shown, see attached picture.


Investigation:

If you do the same steps, but give the project a name without a space (e.g. "HelloWorld"), the build goes as expected.
