I'm running WinXP and DMD 0.111.  I use spaces in my directories (i.e. "c:\my documents\my code\d") and have been noticing that when I try to use these paths for the import flag, the compiler doesn't appear to like them; I get an error saying the compiler can't read whatever file it's looking for.

It does however seem to work for source files...

Has anyone else run into this?

Not to sound patronizing, but do you have double quotes around the pathname?

Not at all, valid question. :)  Yes.  I've tried every combination I can think of: double quotes, single quotes, storing the directories in environment variables and quoting them... no luck.  I really hope I'm just missing something here, because I would think it'd be important for the compiler to accept directories with spaces in them.

If you or someone else has this working, /please/ let me know how you're doing it and on what platform.  This isn't a show stopper to be sure, but it'd be nice.

If you are on MSWindows you can use the "short DOS" name.
Try: dir /x

Just another shot in the dark: Did you try both variations "-IC:\path with space" and  -I"C:\path with space"?
