On: GNU Make in Detail for Beginners

[sophacles]

I understand you are making a point, one which I largely agree with, but:

there isn't a single other computer program in the world which has a problem with it

is a bit too much hyperbole -- there is some really really bad software out there.

[qntm → sophacles]

That's a fair point. Strawberry Perl, I'm looking at you.

I stand by the rest of what I said, though. If a piece of software can't handle spaces in paths, the software is broken. I'm not adding a top-level directory to my C: drive just to appease it. I'll use something else.
