Compile with paths with spaces   ________________________________________________________________________ Applicable Environment ________________________________________________________________________ Topic: Compile with paths that contain spaces SDP: 7.1.0, 7.0.0, 6.6.0, 6.5.0 Target: All supported hosts ________________________________________________________________________ Question ________________________________________________________________________ My build environment relies on file path that contain spaces. Build tools (qcc) report error: cc: Can't specify -P, -C, -E, -c or -S with -o and have multiple files How do I resolve this error? ________________________________________________________________________ Solution ________________________________________________________________________ When you want to compile a file that has a space somewhere in the path, you need to enclose your path with \" instead of just ". The backslash makes gcc/qcc recognize the quote as the start/end of a path. Example: INCLUDES += -I\"../my\ lib/\" ________________________________________________________________________ NOTE: This entry has been validated against the SDP version listed above.
