Vim understands escaped spaces. Windows does not. Vim invokes the Windows cmd.exe shell to run makeprg. Do you need project_home for anything else? Try: let raw_project_home = 'C:\Documents and Settings\user\Projects\myproject' let vim_project_home = fnameescape(raw_project_home) let shell_project_home = shellescape(raw_project_home) let &makeprg = shell_project_home."/tools/make.exe" Note that 'shellslash' on Windows, if set, will break shellescape(). So if you use that option you'll need to temporarily unset it for this. -- -- You received this message from the "vim_use" maillist. Do not top-post!
