Re: Spaces in path names

[Roger While]

Hi Ralf,
Well, how ARE you supposed to get around this ?
Here's an excerpt :
HOME is /cygdrive/c/Dokumente und Einstellungen/Roger While
build directory is $HOME/open-cobol-0.33

Interesting is that previously the shared library has been succesfully created.
(in libcob) - So libtool is obviously doing something right.
ie. Compilations and creating the libcob dll were successful.
Here we are trying to link a binary -
