specifying correctly the pathway to the appropriate locations of the BINDIR and
LIBDIR directories in the GNUmakefile. I am getting a message: “Cannot
create directory… not such file or directory”. I have tried
it both on Linux enterprise 4 and on Windows using cygwin. My pathway
includes spaces, i.e: /cygdrive/c/Documents and Settings/User Name/Desktop/dms/bin
Can anyone please tell me how exactly I should enter the pathway (I think the
spaces cause the problem but not sure)? <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
