I was building SystemC on OSX Yosemite (10.10.5) in my Dropbox area. Because I have both a personal and a corporate Dropbox account, the default names for the directories are:
/Users/login/Dropbox (Personal) /Users/login/Dropbox (Company) If I extract SystemC into a fresh subdirectory of one of those and try to build, it barfs. I didn't look into the exact error, but it's related to the space and/or '(' in the directory path. I created a symbolic link /Users/login/Dropbox-Company to /Users/login/Dropbox (Company). When I build in that area, things work as expected. I suspect there's some place that needs double quotes. I don't know whether it's in your stuff or in the SystemC customization. You can download SystemC from http://accellera.org/images/downloads/standards/systemc/systemc-2.3.1.tgz. It's open source. I've posted an issue in the SystemC forum as well...
