i'm trying to set a path for my gmake.exe in WinXP. unfortunately it
just happens so that company i'm working for has gmake.exe on a per
project basis. i.e.

C:\Documents and Settings\username\projects\projectname\trunk\tools
\gmake.exe

i think i figured out how i'm going to set my makeprg but
unfortunately vim is having problems with spaces.

i tried setting it to
set makeprg=C:\Documents and Settings\username\projects\projectname
\trunk\tools\gmake.exe\ --win32

but vim gives me an error saying:
unknown option: and

i tried setting it to
set makeprg=C:\\Documents\ and\ Settings\\username\\projects\
\projectname\\trunk\\tools\\gmake.exe\ --win32
but whenever i run make from vim i get the following message:
'C:\Documents' is not recognized and internal or external command

i tried setting it to
set makeprg=C:\\Documents\\ and\\ Settings\\username\\projects\
\projectname\\trunk\\tools\\gmake.exe\ --win32
but vim gives me an error saying:
unknown option: \\

would anybody know how to make vim execute gmake.exe which is located
in directories with spaces in their names (other than simply moving
gmake.exe to a directory with a name without spaces in it)

please click "reply to author" when replying this thread.
any help is appreciated.

thanks
