I have Dev-C++ installed in C:\Program Files\DevCPP
When I go Tools -> Compiler Option -> Directories I find that the links are split over two lines e.g.
C:\Program
Files\DevCPP\Bin
If I delete and redo them they split into seperte lines again when I return to check.
Also some of them loose the last letters e.g.
C:\Program Files\DevCPP\Include\C++\Backwards becomes C:\Program Files\DevCPP\Include\C++\Backwar
etc.
Is this a known issue, and is there a way around it?
Do I need to re-install to a directory structure without spaces in the folder names?

If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
When you are dealing with Unix like environments, spaces in file names is always a potential issue. I avoid it whenver possible. In this case, I have always let Dev install in the root of my C directory. (I only have C :-).
There are those who have, apparently made the program files install work, and I am sure they will chime in with helpful hints.
Bottom line, after having issues with some Cygwin stuff, I avoid spaces, and UFOs and leprechauns...

A agree that blank in filenames/dirnames is Microsoft diversion but that is now common thing and that should be solved someday.
I can make walkaround about that in makefiles.... :)

p.s. Try put progra~1 instead of program files in directories.
