Hello FPC developers.
Sad but we found a new (really very old) bug with spaces:
http://bugs.freepascal.org/view.php?id=9964
If you pass -o"some file with spaces.exe" or "-osome file with spaces.exe"
fpc generates only a file with only "some" part.
Why I write here. Well, lazarus team hope to have a version of fpc which can
work with spaces and 2.4.2 is in the preparation steps. We already made some
steps in this direction during the current lazarus and fpc releases. So maybe
there is a chance (not too late) to fix this error too?
Are you sure the bug is in FPC ? I mean, as far as I know there is nothing
that prevents the internal linker or option handling from having spaces in a
filename. However, if the options are passed as
-osome file with spaces.exe
then FPC only sees the "some".
