Like not handling file paths that have spaces? [0] That's one hell of an edge case.

- arca_vorago 9y agoI'm speechless at that link. I don't understand why something so basic isn't fixed yet in such an important package. I guess I can see why qmake/cmake have been eating the market share now. For what it's worth, I am pretty sure one of my first BSD systems forced me into using snakecase so that would explain why I never hit that limitation. That said, make, being designed originally for C, and C being also known for snakecase, and early linux also known for discouraging spaces in names, I can see how this happened in the first place. What I don't understand is the lack of an implimented fix.
