i just realized that too on your previous mail... yeah. we have to generate
paths and well... autoconf doesnt always escape things for us when generating
as -I or -L include lines and so on, so having a space in the path above the
src can cause real issues as we have to create commandlines like
gcc $PATH0/x.c -I$PATH1 -L$PATH2 -o $PATH3/xxx
so $PATH1-3 have 5to be full paths and if a spacve is in there.. it becomes
multilpe args. these are replaced at completely different times like
${top_srcdir} means the top src dir and spaces may not be accounted for when
doing this and we cant change this variable in our makefile.am's so this may
cause issues. i'm not sure there is a "sane solution" to this other than "dnt
use spaces in your dirnames" where you build code :) it's very likel you'll
find lots and lots of srcs of software that have build issues in such dirs.
just as an example: harfbuzz has exactly this same issue if i add a space:
/bin/sh ../../libtool --tag=CC --mode=link ccache gcc -Ofast -march=native
-g -pipe -fvisibility=hidden -ffast-math -Wno-unused-but-set-parameter
-Wno-clobbered -W -Wall -Wextra -Bsymbolic-functions -o test-unicode
test_unicode-test-unicode.o ../../src/libharfbuzz.la
-lglib-2.0 ../../src/libharfbuzz-icu.la -licuuc -licudata libtool: error:
cannot find the library 'buzz/src/libharfbuzz.la' or unhandled argument
'buzz/src/libharfbuzz.la'
...
12:49AM ~/C/other/harf buzz > pwd
/home/raster/C/other/harf buzz
:) i am sure i can fund mountains of sw that will not like this. :)
