Indeed, spaces in filenames are a problem for a number of UNIX programs, but it's not a problem for Cygwin itself by any means. The only problem here is that by default your PATH includes the default PATH for Windows as well, and if you don't have a program in one of /bin:/usr/bin:/usr/local/bin or any other Cygwin paths on your PATH, and there *happens* to be some random program (in this case the same program but an incompatible build thereof) on your Windows PATH you'll still end up using that one. This should obviously be avoided. When working with Cygwin you should generally avoid using anything outside the Cygwin root filesystem except by explicit intent (e.g. I do use a few programs outside of Cygwin such as the Microsoft compilers and related tools). >> On Mon, 9 Dec 2019, 15:35 E.
