Bug #9010
./configure --prefix= cannot handle directories with spaces
Description
It appears that the linking task fails when the --prefix value contains spaces.
Steps to Reproduce:
- ./configure --prefix="$HOME/foo bar"
- make
Expected Result: success
Actual Result:
make[2]: Entering directory /home/hal/src/ruby-2.0.0-p247'
/home/hal/src/ruby-2.0.0-p247'
linking ruby
gcc: error: bar/lib: No such file or directory

make[1]: *** [all] Error 2

- ruby -v set to trunk
I can't reproduce with trunk and ruby_2_1 branch.
