FYI, If I try to build GDB in a directory with spaces on a UNIX system, similar problems occure. $ pwd /tmp/sp ce $ .../configure && make ... creating calc.h cd: can't cd to /tmp/sp $ The immediate problem here isn't with windows. Rather its with the existing build system which is just not tooled up to handle spaces in file names. The only reason that this appears to be windows specific is because only windows systems tend to have spaces in files (on windows creating a file with a space is easy, on UNIX it's pain). However, also note that, for similar reasons, once GDB is built it will have problems: GDB will not open symbol files if there is a space in the filename or path http://sources.redhat.com/cgi-bin/gnatsweb.pl?cmd=view%20audit-trail&database=gdb&pr=535 Andrew
