mingw install path space [message #134517]

I installed mingw at C:\Program Files and tried to run CDT. I builded a
manager make project and when compiling it, it shows error like below

mingw32-make -k all
C:\Program: C:\Program: No such file or directory

I know this problem is caused by space in the windows path. Is there
anyway to change some settings at CDT instead of reinstall mingw to a
simpler path like c:\mingw?

Thannks!

You have two choices:
1) Reinstall as you indicate - yes, this sucks. When in Windows, live like a
Windows program.
2) Make sure that you quote all your path specs.

Even *nix doesn't have a problem with spaces in the path/file names. It is
ONLY Linux/Unix programmers and users that have problems with spaces in
path/file names. A proper program would ALWAYS declare path-spec as a quoted
string. That many Unix-born utilities do not is a fault of the programmers.
The OS doesn't have any trouble with it.
