ID: 19712 User updated by: MuTbKA@ukr.net Reported By: MuTbKA@ukr.net -Status: Suspended +Status: Closed Bug Type: Compile Failure Operating System: Any PHP Version: 4.2.1 New Comment: I suggest to mark this bug CLOSED, and go on with fixing Bug #19755 (http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=19755). Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-10-04 05:59:50] markonen@php.net No? phpize is also an end-user technology, used in PECL (for example). So experiencing this bug when running a GNOME PECL installer or something similar seems like a reasonable scenario to me. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-10-04 05:34:18] hholzgra@php.net "... the amount of GUI-bound users will increase there as well. ..." we are talking about C programmers experienced enought to give writing an extension a try, aren't we? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-10-04 03:46:49] mfischer@php.net Suspending until some brave hero wants to slay the dragon. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-10-04 02:47:06] markonen@php.net This is a real problem on Desktop OSes such as Mac OS X, where spaces in directory names are common (The default volume name is "Macintosh HD"). As the Linux desktops get better, the amount of GUI-bound users will increase there as well. This will undoubtedly make spaces in directory names more common across the board. I understand that fixing this is hard because there are a ton of places that are potentially broken, but that's no real excuse for closing this. Let's leave it open for someone to fix. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-10-03 21:33:56] sas@php.net Trying to support spaces in path names opens up a can of worms without any real benefit. If your administrator has made the mistake to give you a home directory beneath such a path, complain to him/her. It is very likely that the person is simply inexperienced. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The remainder of the comments for this report are too long.
