VPATH = "My Source Files"
But VPATH is one of those variables that refers to file paths. Would it
be possible to tokenize the space with something like %20? So my foo.mk
has the quoted path with a space and internally the space is tokenized?
That would work, other than for people who had filenames with %20 in
it... My browser saves html files with %20 instead of space characters,
so if I ran make on some html files it might untokenize and not be able
to access the actual file.
... and then what if I have both a genuine space and a %20 filename in
the same directory..? I think it must be done with a character which
will never occur in a standard filename.
Or, rather than the relatively short, (and also common %20), we could
use a token which will not likely occur, like a 256bit unique number.
(..and pick a different 256bit unique number should the default 256bit
unique number show-up in a filename at run-time!).
Cheers, Jon
