Bug: make fails to execute .BAT files with space in the path, with SHELL=cmd.exe

[Erik Carstensen]

Hi,

I have the following makefile:

SHELL=cmd.exe

default:

        "a b.bat" xy

        "a b.bat" "x y"

        a\ b.bat xy

        a\ b.bat x\ y

I also have a file 'a b.bat', which contains a single line:

echo a b

Now when I run make, this happens:

/tmp$ /cygdrive/c/mingw64-i686-20110207/bin/make.exe

"a b.bat" xy

a b

"a b.bat" "x y"

a b

a\ b.bat xy

C:\cygwin\tmp>echo a b 

a b

a\ b.bat x\ y

'a' is not recognized as an internal or external command,

operable program or batch file.

make: *** [default] Error 1

I think the problem is in the lpCommandLine parameter to CreateProcess, where argv[0] needs cmd.exe-style quoting of spaces if it is a .BAT file

make --version
