The following line to install fpc used to work:
make.exe install  INSTALL_PREFIX=c:\FPC\trunk\  COPYTREE=echo UPXPROG=echo

But now leads to:
.\fpmake.exe install --localunitdir=../.. --globalunitdir=.. --os=win32 --cpu=i386 -o -Ur -o -Xs -o -O2 -o -n -o -FuC:/FPC/SVN/trunc/rtl/units/i386-win32 -o -FuC:/FPC/SVN/trunc/packages/hash/units/i386-win32 -o -FuC:/FPC/SVN/trunc/packages/paszlib/units/i386-win32 -o -FuC:/FPC/SVN/trunc/packages/fcl-process/units/i386-win32 -o -FuC:/FPC/SVN/trunc/packages/fpmkunit/units/i386-win32 -o -FE. -o -FUunits/i386-win32 -o -di386 -o -dRELEASE --compiler=C:/FPC/SVN/trunc/compiler/ppc386.exe --prefix=c:\FPC\trunk\ --unitinstalldir=c:\FPC\trunk\/units/i386-win32/fcl-base -ie
The installer encountered the following error:
Failed to create directory "c:\FPC\trunk \bin\"

It appears that 2 issu8es play together.
1) the windows path delim is not translated
2) the \ followed by a space is interpreted as escaped space, and included in the path

I will try without the trailing \ But imho that shouldn't fail, it's a perfectly legal path (afaik)
