This seems kind of strange to me, but when I go to specify a search directory for the linker I can't seem to get it to work for a path that contains spaces.

I tried to put quotes around the switch like I've done for other switches, but when my program goes to link I get some strange errors.

If I use something like "-L+C:\Users\Jeremy\Desktop\Search Directory\" (with the quotes) I get the errors

C:\Users\Jeremy\Desktop\Search.lib

 Warning 2: File Not Found C:\Users\Jeremy\Desktop\Search.lib

Directory.lib

 Warning 2: File Not Found Directory.lib


It seems to do the same thing even without the space in the path if I leave the quotes around it. The only way I have gotten it to work is by not using quotes and not having any spaces in the path to the directory I want to have searched. Am I doing something wrong?

Any chance:
-L+"C:\Users\Jeremy\Desktop\Search Directory\"

works?

Nope, same error.

It's a known issue.
