On Windows, when installing `windres' in a path which contains spaces, it will
fail to execute even if you have the binutils in your PATH. To reproduce simply
launch windres as:
C:\apps\Eiffel60 x86/gcc/windows/mingw/bin/windres" -I../../..
../../../sample.rc -O coff -o sample
'C:\apps\Eiffel60' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.
With the -v option I get:
[C:\work\projects\61dev\EIFGENs\sample_normal\W_code]"C:\apps\Eiffel60
x86/gcc/windows/mingw/bin/windres.exe" -I../../.. ../../../sample.rc -O coff -o
sample.res -v
Using `C:\apps\Eiffel60 x86/gcc/windows/mingw/bin/gcc -E -xc -DRC_INVOKED
-I../../.. ../../../sample.rc'
Using popen to read preprocessor output
'C:\apps\Eiffel60' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.
It basically takes the path of `gcc' relative using the command line argument.
So the solution is to simply surround the path to gcc with double quotes.
For the moment I've used the `--preprocessor' option using:
"C:\apps\Eiffel60 x86/gcc/windows/mingw/bin/windres"
--preprocessor='"C:\apps\Eiffel60 x86/gcc/windows/mingw/bin/cpp.exe"' -I../../..
../../../sample.rc -O coff -o sample.res
but I'm not sure if it is equivalent to the default behavior of windres.
