Package: make Version: 3.81-8.2 Severity: normal Tags: upstream I assume that make can not handle files with whitespace in the filename in many situations, but this bug report only addresses one specific case. Here is a minimal test case:
let's start with a makefile %.out: %in cat %< >%@ and create some test files $ touch test_file.in test\ file.in and do our tests $ make test_file.out cat test_file.in > test_file.out $ make test\ file.out make: *** No rule to make target `test file.out'. Stop. This is slightly annoying when working third party files and complex makefiles. -- System Information: Debian Release: 7.5 APT prefers oldstable-updates APT policy: (500, 'oldstable-updates'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 3.13-0.bpo.1-686-pae (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages make depends on: ii libc6 2.13-38+deb7u1 make recommends no packages.
