[Malte C. <mco...@us...>]

Hi,

I'm doing my first baby steps (coming from a Linux environment) using 
Bloodshed IDE (beta 8), compiling some programs from the "theForge" tutorial. 
I have made the mistake to save the .c, .h and .rc files in a directory path 
containing spaces.

Now when compiling the resource file, make stops with
"No rule to make target: Einstellungen/blabla/somewhere/resource.rc"
which is no wonder, the file is under C:\Dokumente und Einstellungen
\somewhere..."

(which is the standard location where your home directory ("Personal Files?") 
is in German WinNT/2k/XP versions)

So, apparently the auto-generated Makefile copes with spaces for the .c and .h 
files, but not for the .rc files.

I have had no time to check the source for the cause yet, though. Adding in 
some backslashes before the spaces does results in the same error message, 
though - weird.

The Makefile.win generated is attached.

Yours
-Malte #8-)

PS: thanks for providing a free software environment to compile stuff for 
Win32 with!
