[Qemu-devel] [Bug 1817345] Re: configure script breaks when $source_path contains white spaces
If calling from any Unix shell, and the parameter has spaces, then we need to quote it.we can also use single quotes, these are more powerful. They stop the shell from interpreting anything ($, !, \, *, ", etc, except '). can't we use this approach here?? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of qemu- devel-ml, which is subscribed to QEMU. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1817345 Title: configure script breaks when $source_path contains white spaces Status in QEMU: New Bug description: Hi, I noticed that the configure script breaks when the qemu source directory is in a path containing white spaces, in particular the list of targets is not correctly generated when calling "./configure --help".

I am OK with just checking and complaining. Linux too solves the problem in this way: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/Makefile?id=51193b76bfff5027cf96ba63effae808ad67cca7 A general "shellcheck" pass wouldn't hurt, tho.

Make does not really get on at all with spaces... It would probably be helpful if we made configure complain if it finds spaces in the build or source paths. thanks -- PMM

I think it is better to just disallow building in a path containing spaces, -- there are so many packages and other tools that fails in this config, might require lots of work to fix this AND to ensure all future changes are still working, and there's an easy workaround Just my few cents. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of qemu- devel-ml, which is subscribed to QEMU. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1817345 Title: configure script breaks when $source_path contains white spaces Status in QEMU: New Bug description: Hi, I noticed that the configure script breaks when the qemu source directory is in a path containing white spaces, in particular the list of targets is not correctly generated when calling "./configure --help".
