Error parsing paths containing spaces?
killerbot:
nono , read the posts above, someone has tested it out, the bug was there always, even when relative paths : (eg .\a dir\myresource.rc) same problem, with the change to complete absolute paths it becomes more obvious, since more change that a path with a space can come into play

Yes, you're right about the fact that it existed before (and it's a windres bug, no way. How should C::B handle it, other than adding quotation marks?). But that is a test directory (literally), and one can change the name of a directory, or the location of a file. The point is when you have Windows XP and your project is inside "Documents and settings": with absolute paths you must move all your project to another place. That's why i said "it was fine before" :) all my resource files are inside the Documents, but they're in the same location as the project (and probably it's the same for other people), so i don't have any kind of problem with the compilation.

and for that situation you can turn off the absolute paths, the price you pay is the debugging workaround is gone. If you want both, avoid spaces in paths. very sad that is :-(

The bug has been fixed in the latest binutils' snapshot: http://sourceforge.net/forum/forum.php?forum_id=661143
Hooray :)
killerbot:
one quick question : was this problem also existing on linux, or was it just MinGW. I hope the latter then the problem is solved, although I wonder if we should remove our workaround (and for that matter does the current workaround limits things).
@The Don : can you shed your light on this ?
