It might be nice to fix autoconf, but then you'll run into make.
'make' doesn't like spaces in directories either - and this is a
fundamental design issue.
But doesn't make always run in the same directory? Anyway I'm placing
this on the back burner for some time, and it's been a long time since
I read the GNU make manual. But I think that this issue needs to be
solved someday because directories with spaces are very common this
days (Windows' "C:\Program Files", for example).
I'm now deeply immersed in cross-compiling, though. I'm also
reviewing how Autoconf works and how it's applied through GNUstep. My
knowledge of Autoconf is somewhat superficial right now. The first
problem I've detected is that the macro AC_FUNC_SETPGRP prevents
cross-compiling because it always needs to run the test program that
it constructs in order to check the signature of setpgrp. I haven't
found how to circumvent it yet.
if test $cross_compiling = no; then
AC_FUNC_SETPGRP
else
#set a default value
fi
I was working on that, but the default for MingW is not what the normal
default would be, but I wasn't entirely sure.
