The problem where having spaces in the environmental variable will error out the make process has been described. I propose the following work around:
Open Lazarus\Designer\Makefile Find this text: override PATH:=$(subst \,/,$(PATH)) ifeq ($(findstring ;,$(PATH)),) inUnix=1 SEARCHPATH:=$(filter-out .,$(subst :, ,$(PATH))) else SEARCHPATH:=$(subst ;, ,$(PATH)) endif PWD:=$(strip $(wildcard $(addsuffix /pwd.exe,$(SEARCHPATH)))) ifeq ($(PWD),) PWD:=$(strip $(wildcard $(addsuffix /pwd,$(SEARCHPATH)))) ifeq ($(PWD),) $(error You need the GNU utils package to use this Makefile) Replace with: override PATH:=$(subst \,/,$(PATH)) # Empty variable E := # Variable containing one space (space char between two empty vars) S := $E $E # TEMPPATH is a variable contained the PATH environmental var with spaces replaced with "*" TEMPPATH:=$(subst $S,*,$(PATH)) # now, delimeters for directory names (:,;) are replaced with spaces ifeq ($(findstring ;,$(TEMPPATH)),) inUnix=1 SEARCHPATH:=$(filter-out .,$(subst :, ,$(TEMPPATH))) else SEARCHPATH:=$(subst ;, ,$(TEMPPATH)) endif # now, add the suffix "/pwd.exe" to the end of each space-delimted word in the path TEMPPWD:=$(addsuffix /pwd.exe, $(SEARCHPATH)) # change *'s back to spaces before continuing TEMPPWD:=$(subst *, ,$(TEMPPWD)) PWD:=$(firstword $(wildcard $(TEMPPWD))) ifeq ($(PWD),) TEMPPWD:=$(addsuffix /pwd, $(SEARCHPATH))) TEMPPWD:=$(subst *, ,$(TEMPPWD)) PWD:=$(firstword $(wildcard $(TEMPPWD))) ifeq ($(PWD),) $(error You need the GNU utils package to use this Makefile) This seems to work fine for me over here. _______________________________________________ fpc-pascal maillist - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/fpc-pascal
