Why? If it was not fixable at that time? We don't create the linker, nor the debugger.
I have no idea about linker and debugger idiosyncrasies. I don't know myself. I am merely pointing out facts.
It is a known issue for me. There even is a bug report about it. Just nobody willing to work on it. And this is so easy to do for a user. Simply rename the Lazarus directory and update the environment options accordingly and see what breaks. For example debugging, external linker, resource compiling. I think it is better now, because a lot things have been tested when compiling projects in paths with spaces.
Ok. There are issues. There has to be progress and resolution to move forward.
It is better.
Just go give you perspective here. The enemy is NEVER better. And this particular one is as bad as it gets.
Do you care? Then test.
Reality check here. I've been developing / reporting because of Aurawin for about 7 years. Sometimes my project has had to wait for Lazarus developers to further the platform. There are times I have prayed for help for you guys to get further along faster. I have invested my
time and money into Aurawin which depends on Lazarus and FPC. I have been offering oversight and strategy hints for years.
Fine, that doesn't hurt me. And still nobody bothered to test if it works in a directory with spaces. IMHO it is a nice to have, so I won't spend time on testing, just on disabling it
This issue will affect me, as I plan to release 2 open source projects. Others trying to build Aurawin projects from source will find it impossible. And that is ok (for now).
As a substitute at least I MUST be able to release binary distros. Personally, I can live without windows support. But some users cannot. While I can see how windows is becoming more and more deprecated, having no Windows cloud sync software is a problem. -- Andrew Brunner Aurawin LLC 512.574.6298 http://aurawin.com/ Aurawin is a great new way to store, share, and enjoy your photos, videos, music and more. -- _______________________________________________ Lazarus mailing list [email protected] http://lists.lazarus.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/lazarus
