Win32 is broken for all of us poor schmucks who happen to have spaces in the path to our SRCROOT. I think this may be due to: http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?func=detailitem&item_id=712 I've tried quoting the individual args of the VPATH as well as quoting all variable uses in the Makefile. I don't seem to get past the VPATH check, as I always get: (extra logging enabled) Performing Pre-Build Event... sw_vers: Command not found. Webcore = /cygdrive/c/Documents and Settings/Eric Seidel/Desktop/WebKit/WebCore make: Entering directory `/cygdrive/c/Documents and Settings/Eric Seidel/Desktop/WebKit/WebCore/DerivedSources/WebCore' make: *** No rule to make target `css/CSSGrammar.y', needed by `CSSGrammar.cpp'. Stop. make: Leaving directory `/cygdrive/c/Documents and Settings/Eric Seidel/Desktop/WebKit/WebCore/DerivedSources/WebCore' Project : error PRJ0019: A tool returned an error code from "Performing Pre-Build Event..."

In fact, this limitation seems to be documented in the Make readme: http://cvs.savannah.nongnu.org/viewcvs/make/make/README.W32.template?rev=2.11 search for "white space"

Created attachment 7499 [details] Workaround I think I'm almost disappointed this was so "easy" to workaround. I think I would have enjoyed ranting about make bugs w/ darin come morning. :)
