I've got a C++ tree that is running under Fedora 14, Fedora 16, and
Cygwin. Everything works.
Tonight, I needed to test something and was on my Windows box, so I did
a cut-and-paste operation which gave me a directory of "Copy of
myStuff". I did a make and it worked, but I am seeing a message about
"basename: extra operand 'myStuff'.
I figured out that the spaces in the MS "Copy of myStuff" were the
problem and was able to rename w/o spaces and move forward.
But I would like to ask if anyone knows what in "make" uses the basename
command so I can try to either massage the Makefile to deal with it or
throw a more meaningful error (as in "your directory has spaces in it
and there will be complaints")?
I also noticed that if I run "make >& make.out" that the message is
printed to the terminal and is not in make.out. What am I missing to
capture all output in make.out?
Thanks in advance,
Paul
ps: I haven't included all the details of cygcheck as I think the issue
is on my end once I have an idea of why basename is being called -- will
gladly provide if it helps
