Something seems to have changed between Qt 5.13 and 5.15 in terms of how qmake handles Android asset filenames containing spaces. With 5.13, we were able to do the following in our .pro file:
ASSET_DATA.path = /assets ASSET_DATA.files += $$quote(.\MyFiles\FileWithoutSpaces.txt) ASSET_DATA.files += $$quote(.\MyFiles\File With Spaces.txt) INSTALLS += ASSET_DATA The $$quote is unnecessary, but harmless, with the first of these files. It's essential with the second file that includes spaces in the filename. With Qt 5.15, this no longer works. Qmake fails with an error, and stops processing the file. The error is: 1>C:\Qt\5.15.1\android\bin\qmake.exe -install qinstall C:\Build\MyFiles\File\ With\ Spaces.txt android-build\armeabi-v7a\Release\assets\File\ With\ Spaces.txt 1>EXEC : error : usage: [-exe] source target 1>make.exe: *** [Makefile:24733: install_ASSET_DATA] Error 3 I've tried using $$shell_quote and $$system_quote in place of $$quote, both of which seems to be "stronger" quoting methods. (If you use 'message' to output the contents of ASSET_DATA.files, then you don't see the quotes in the message when you use $$quote, but they are still present in the message output when you use $$shell_quote or $$system_quote.) If I use $$shell_quote or $$system_quote, then qmake continues and doesn't report an error, but any files containing spaces are simply skipped and ignored, and don't end up in the assets. I've also tried actual double-quotes, double-quotes escaped with backslashes, escaping the space characters with backslashes, and pretty much anything else I could think of - no dice. Does anyone know what's changed here, and how I can go about including asset files with embedded spaces in their names? (I'm aware that one answer to this query is "Don't have spaces in your filenames". I'm looking into that option, but for historical reasons we have a lot of files containing embedded spaces, so getting rid of them all will have a lot of impacts and will require quite a bit of work. So I'd like to avoid that solution if I can.) Thanks, Rob Allan
