Vincent, How did you guess that? <g> Yes, 64-bit Windows 7. I have a Ubuntu virtual machine as well (I'm using a 16GB workstation, so anything is feasible). I never finished configuring my Linux VM under VirtualBox, but I _have_ been giving some serious thought to using it for all XWiki development. Reading between the lines, do you feel I'd be happier under Linux? Frankly, I've _never_ liked Windows in any form (in fact, I was sort of an evangelist for OS/2 back in the day), but there are a few useful Windows tools I use that may or not be happy under Wine, so I've been taking the path of least resistance (you know, buying a new portable workstation that always comes with Windows and Microsoft Office pre-installed :-). It wouldn't take much to convince me to live in the Linux world.
Since you asked about Windows, and there is a message about a path element, I'm guessing this whole mess has something to do with the presence of blanks in Windows pathed directory names like "Program Files." I don't have a world clock, but isn't it awfully late in Paris? Thanks for your continued responses! --Gary -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Vincent Massol Sent: Tuesday, July 24, 2012 5:34 PM To: XWiki Developers Subject: Re: [xwiki-devs] Errors Building xwiki-commons Hi Gary, Are you building on Windows by any chance? -Vincent On Jul 24, 2012, at 11:37 PM, Gary Kopp wrote: > I am unable to build xwiki-commons from the command line.
