ImageMagick fails to build when path includes spaces

Post by powerofvoid »

What I did:
  • Put the source tarball in a directory that contained spaces in its name (e.g: "A B")
  • Extracted
  • ./configure
  • make
What I expected:
  • Successful make
What I got:
  • Error and failure to make
Change I made:
  • Renamed the directory to not contain spaces
What I got:
  • ImageMagick compiled fine

The developers might want to know the first error that was raised. Also your platform (Linix, Max, Windows, whatever) and version of IM.

Did you put quotes around the directory whose name had spaced, when you reference it?
