We could replace the mkinstalldirs in Emacs with one from a recent automake, which seems to have addressed this issue. But I think that trying to use paths with spaces will still not work, because there are many many places in the Emacs Makefile where paths are used without quoting. So paths with spaces will be split by the build process before even being passed to mkinstalldirs. _______________________________________________ emacs-pretest-bug mailing list emacs-pretest-bug@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/emacs-pretest-bug
