We do not systematically test this, but also SAGE_LOCAL should not contain spaces. Many of our build scripts do not quote correctly and will break when SAGE_LOCAL contains spaces. For example, look at https://github.com/sagemath/sage/blob/develop/build/pkgs/fplll/spkg-install.in: If SAGE_LOCAL is "/lo space cal", then when CONFIGURE_FLAGS="--prefix=$SAGE_LOCAL --libdir=$SAGE_LOCAL/lib" is passed to sdh_configure, it will expand to too many arguments. Fixing this would be a welcome contribution -- but likely also many upstream projects have the same issues in their build scripts. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "sage-devel" group.
