OK, same story, see below.
This said, I wouldn't be surprised if building (and/or installing)
doesn't
work correctly in a directory whose complete filename contains
spaces and/or
non-ascii letters.
Spaces are definitely fine.
Among other things, I seem to remember a problem where some
hardcoded file
names are created at dump time before the utf-8 coding system
exists, so
when they get used later on, they may suffer some problems. Please
try and
diagnosticate as much as you can, and we'll then add a note about
it in
PROBLEMS (at least, if that's the problem I'm thinking of, the
solution is
not immediate).
When started with -nw, loading of "encoded-kb" fails, yet Emacs
starts up. It is marginally usable - files can be opened (find-file)
just fine from the path with the non-ASCII characters. However,
calling "load-file" manually won't work (with one of those paths).
In a successfully started Emacs (-Q), files from the special path can
be opened (find-file) and sourced (load-file) perfectly, even though
the *Completions* buffer and the entry in *Messages* will not display
the right characters. I've tried this with a directory named "Täst",
which shows up in Emacs as in the attached screenshot.
