"Lot of trouble" and "no support at all" are two very different things. E.g., in Unix shell scripts, if I do care about supporting such file names, I can have it if I'm careful enough to quote every file name (a.k.a. "a lot of trouble"). But in a Makefile, I simply cannot have them at all. No fire escape, period. _______________________________________________ Bug-make mailing list Bug-make@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-make
