index.php/fa/35707/0/I am trying to run the PWM sample code in C with eclipse and when I am building the project I run into the error of "No such file or directory" when the program should be looking for c:/Users/Preferred Customer/Desktop/C_Support_for_myRIO_v6.0/C Support for myRIO/source.

Instead the program spits out these errors:

arm-nilrt-linux-gnueabi-gcc -DMyRio_1900 "-Ic:/Users/Preferred Customer/Desktop/C_Support_for_myRIO_v6.0/C Support for myRIO/source" "-IC:\\Users\\Preferred Customer\\Desktop\\C_Support_for_myRIO_v6.0\\C Support for myRIO\\source" -O0 -g3 -Wall -c -fmessage-length=0 -mfpu=vfpv3 -mfloat-abi=softfp "--sysroot=C:\\Users\\Preferred" "Customer\\Desktop\\C_Support_for_myRIO_v6.0\\C" Support for "myRIO\\source" -o main.o "..\\main.c"
arm-nilrt-linux-gnueabi-gcc: error: Customer\Desktop\C_Support_for_myRIO_v6.0\C: No such file or directory
arm-nilrt-linux-gnueabi-gcc: error: Support: No such file or directory
arm-nilrt-linux-gnueabi-gcc: error: for: No such file or directory
arm-nilrt-linux-gnueabi-gcc: error: myRIO\source: No such file or directory

It appears that it is splitting up that file location based on the spaces. I have attempted to add quotes around the file path but that has not worked. I am working on windows 10 professional. Any ideas?

You mention adding quotes but it's not clear (to me) where you are entering this information. You might try using "\ " if the place where you are entering this you are entering \\ for the directory separators.

I have tried adding quotes and escaping the space with a / in the user environmental variables. I have also tried both the quotes and escaping the space with / in the Eclipse software by right clicking on the project -> properties -> c/C++ build -> environment. Additionally, I am using a single "\" when i am entering the paths for the directory separators.

I see, so how these strings are "interpreted" depends on where they variables are used. It's probably best to you ask on the CDT forum:

https://www.eclipse.org/forums/eclipse.tools.cdt

Though of course your best bet would be to avoid the problem entirely, but that's challenging when your home folder name has a space in it.
