How do I handle files with spaces in my Makefile? -


so anonymous developers have decided use ridiculous convention of using spaces in folder names contain source files. change these folders not use spaces sadly don't make rules around here that's not option (though wish were).

luac            = luac  src_dir         = . source          =                                                      \ stupid/naming\ convention/a.lua                                        \ stupid/naming\ convention/very\ annoying/b.lua                         \  vpath .lua $(src_dir)  out_dir         = ../out/ output          = $(patsubst %.lua, $(out_dir)/%.luac, $(source))   all: $(output)  $(out_dir)/%.luac: %.lua     $(luac) "$<"     mv luac.out "$@"  .phony:

simple makefile. it's meant compile lua files have , put them output directory.

no matter keeps wanting split source string on spaces in folder, end beautiful error this:

make: *** no rule make target `stupid/naming ', needed `all'.  stop.

is there way fix without renaming folders?

thanks in advance.

the short, imo correct, answer make (not gnu make, posix-style make implementations) not support pathnames containing whitespace. if want use make, "anonymous developers" cannot use them. if insist absolute requirement should switch different build tool altogether, support whitespace in filenames.

yes, it's barely possible create makefile work filenames containing whitespace, have rewrite makefiles scratch, , not able use many of features of gnu make makefiles long, difficult read, , difficult maintain.

just tell them on themselves. or if can't, try having them create workspace in pathname without whitespace in names, create symbolic link containing whitespace pointing real workspace (the other way around won't work in situations).

vb.net - Virtual Keyboard commands -

i wondering difference between virtual these keyboard commands is: keyeventf_extendedkey , keyeventf_keyup is. everywhere have looked gives me description based off integers , not want know each of them does. you've tagged question vb.net, these have nothing @ vb.net. they're constants defined in windows header files, use win32 api functions. as far difference, can't tell looking @ values. individual values not particularly important, that's why named identifiers used. what's important used , documentation functions tells mean. the first one, keyeventf_extendedkey , used keybdinput structure (which used along e.g. sendinput function) pass information synthesized keyboard input. if flag used, means scan code should interpreted extended key. technically, means scan code preceded prefix byte value 224 (&he0 in hexadecimal notation). the second one, keyeventf_keyup , 1 of flags available use structure. means key being released (going up)...

c++ - End of file on pipe magic during open -

i have c++ application in starting process(wireshark) following. if (fp == null){ fp = popen(processpath, "r"); //processpath process want start if (!fp){ throw std::invalid_argument("cannot start process"); } fprintf(fp, d_msg);//d_msg input want provide process } else if(fp != null){ fprintf(fp, d_msg); } the problem when execute c++ application, start wireshark error end of file on pipe magic during open what should avoid that? also tried using mkfifo create named pipe , execute it. used this: if (fp == null){ system("mkfifo /tmp/mine.pcap"); fp = popen("wireshark -k -i /tmp/mine.pcap", "r"); if (!fp){ dout << "cannot start wireshark"<<std::endl; throw std::invalid_argument("cannot start wireshark"); } input = fopen("/tmp/mine.pcap", "wb"); fprintf(input , d_msg); fclose(input)...
