This is similar to the problem I had on 3-2-03.  I am using the -ofilename option to send the output file to a different directory.  The directory name contains spaces (Documents and Settings).  I enclose the file path in quotes, but when it is passed to the linker the quotes are omitted and the linker can't find the file.  I have tried it in both the command line and as an environmental variable.



Is there a way around this, or do I need to use directories without spaces?





Thanks,

no spaces. I would also suggest you use the <drive>:\dm as the install directory for dm.

Have you tried with subst x: "c:\program filer\whatever" ?

Gisle V.

I don't understand what you mean by subst x:
How do I do this?

'subst' is a windows command. Try it on the command prompt (dos prompt) like this:

------------------------------------------------------------------------
C:\>subst /?
Associates a path with a drive letter.

SUBST [drive1: [drive2:]path]
SUBST drive1: /D

  drive1:        Specifies a virtual drive to which you want to assign a path.
  [drive2:]path  Specifies a physical drive and path you want to assign to
                 a virtual drive.
  /D             Deletes a substituted (virtual) drive.

Type SUBST with no parameters to display a list of current virtual drives.

C:\>
------------------------------------------------------------------------

With subst you are able the make a certain direcory appear as the root of a drive. Like:

c:\>subst S: "c:\Program Files\DMC"

now you have a S: drive

C:\>S:

S:\>
S:\>dir

The dir list of c:\Program Files\DMC\

Looks like it might work.  I think it might be useful for any number of things.  Thanks for the info.
