Issue ID: 16677
Summary: -L flag ignores quotes in the arguments passed to the
linker
Product: D
Version: D2
Hardware: x86
OS: Windows
Status: NEW
Severity: major
Priority: P1
Component: dmd
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
On Windows 32-bit, linking with dmd and passing, say, `-L/LIBPATH:"C:/Program
Files (x86)/foo/bar"`, dmd calls `link.exe` without the quotes which results in
linker error trying to link `C:/Program.obj` because of the space. Since
`C:/Program Files (x86)/` is where a lot of system libraries live, the user
doesn't really have a choice but to call `link.exe` manually, which isn't easy
to set up with dub.
