gaiw is used as a front end to grace. It feeds a command string to grace. But, it will not handle paths with spaces in them, i.e. a directory has a space in the name. I know that unix programs in general don't expect to see spaces in paths, but many (most?) Mac users probably have many paths with spaces in them. So I expect that users may run into this "issue", as I did during testing.
I have put a DescUsage: line in my draft .info file to explain this "issue". But, I wonder if there is perhaps something that I could do via an option in the .info file, or with a patch that would allow paths with spaces to work properly. I am not a programmer, so I am not going to try to dig into the source code. But before I submit this package I want to ask if there is some usual, simple way to deal with issues like this.
gaim uses qt3. It does not have a configure script. The program is complied by:
qmake gaiw.pro make clean make make install
If I don't hear anything in a day or two I will assume that this "issue" does not have an easy solution and I will submit the package as I have it now.
Thanks for your advice.
