Usernames with spaces are illegal on most (all?) unix based systems... so that would make them a lot ore common on windows :-) You need to set up your environment so that your home directory doesn't contain spaces. The alternative is to go through gnustep-make rewriting everything to handle paths/filenames with spaces, and possibly then go through all makefiles everywhere doing the same. _______________________________________________ Gnustep-dev mailing list Gnustep-dev@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/gnustep-dev
