The build changes in r87093 broke me, as my py3k branch is under a dir with a space in the name, and the OutDir path needs escaping in the makefiles. Various extra quoting seems to be sufficient, though inelegant.

Oh, and after building with this, I get:

$ svn st
?       PC/python3dll.obj

So either that wants moving or svn:ignore needs updating.

My build is still affected by this, can you find some time to look at the attached patch please?

Relevant bit of log is:

Performing Makefile project actions
Microsoft (R) Program Maintenance Utility Version 9.00.21022.08

NMAKE : fatal error U1073: don't know how to make 'User\py3k\PCbuild\'
Stop.

Can you still reproduce this?
msg160215 - (view) Author: Martin (gz) * Date: 2012-05-08 17:26
Yes, this is still reproducible. For instance, by:

> hg clone -b default 3.3 "feature branch"
> cd "feature branch/PCbuild"
> call build_env.bat
> call build.bat

It seems python33.dll now does get created so it's less severe, but the python3dll still fails due to the makefile OutDir not being quoted:

NMAKE : fatal error U1073: don't know how to make 'branch\PCbuild\'

As there is an easy work-around (just don't use spaces in directory names), I still consider this issue as irrelevant as two years ago.

Avoiding spaces in the dir names might not be so easy, if e.g. you are trying to install it in "Program Files", "Users/Name Surname", or some other system directory that has spaces in there (sure, you could install it elsewhere, but in 2012 this shouldn't be an issue anymore).

I agree with the sentiment expressed in msg160237.  Having said that I believe that a lot of work has been put into the build system recently that might have covered this.

The build system has been completely rewritten at least once since this was opened; this should no longer be a problem.
