Category: MSYS >Group: Aged issue >Status: Pending >Resolution: Out of Date Priority: 5 Private: No Submitted By: Andreas Deininger (deining) Assigned to: Cesar Strauss (cstrauss) Summary: error if msys is installed in directory with spaces Initial Comment: I just installed latest MSYS version (1.0.11) on a Windows XP box in a directory with spaces in it (e.g. C:\Program Files\MSYS). Invoking msys.bat, I got the error: Windows cannot find 'C :\Program' . Make sure you typed the name correctly, and then try again. To search for a file, click the Start button, and then click Search. The attached patch solves that problem. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- >Comment By: Earnie Boyd (earnie) Date: 2013-01-11 10:42 Message: Cesar what is the status with this and with patch 2808978? https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&aid=2808978&group_id=2435&atid=302435 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Hamish B (hbowman) Date: 2010-01-30 16:13 Message: see "patch: fix quoting and handle spaces in path gracefully" SorceForge bug ID: 2808978 https://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=2808978&group_id=2435&atid=102435 Hamish ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Hamish B (hbowman) Date: 2009-06-11 23:29 Message: patch updated at URL; contained a typo ("%WD%" was "%WD"). ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Hamish B (hbowman) Date: 2009-06-11 07:48 Message: see updated patch in #1511614 http://bambi.otago.ac.nz/hamish/dev/msys/abort_on_spaces.diff ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Earnie Boyd (earnie) Date: 2009-06-11 05:40 Message: Sorry, I just read Cesar's post in the duplicate. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Earnie Boyd (earnie) Date: 2009-06-11 05:37 Message: You are advised in the documentation to not install into a directory with spaces. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=102435&aid=1840961&group_id=2435 |
