Re: '()' escaped to '\(\)' is breaking my build

The key line is:

The parenthesis are annoyingly escaped when creating the Makefile:

LDDLFLAGS = -libpath:"c:\Program Files \(x86\)\Microsoft Visual Studio 
9.0\VC\lib" -libpath:"c:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v6.0A\Lib"
Which breaks the build on Windows. The INC attribute doesn't do that so 
why does LDDLFLAGS? I've tried moving those options into LD but it has 
the same problem. For now I'm going to have to modify the generated 
Makefile each time I call Makefile.PL.

Sorry about that.

Please attach your Makefile and a copy of the build error, then we can get 
started investigating.
