Missing quotes around the php-cgi executable https://github.com/cztomczak/phpdesktop/blob/chrome130/mongoose.c#L1378

Causes CGI spawn_process error:

- 15:13:38.625 WARNING: spawn_process: CreateProcess(D:\Projects\Folder with space char\phpdesktop-chrome-130.0-php-8.3\php\php-cgi.exe "D:\Projects\Folder with space char\phpdesktop-chrome-130.0-php-8.3\www\index.php"): 193

Results in HTTP 500

How far are we from a next release? I tried building this thing with VS 2022 Build Tools. CEF went fine but phpdesktop crashed with a variety of build errors.

phpdesktop\cef\include\base\cef_ref_counted.h(487,32): error C2061: syntax error: identifier 'in_place_t' [phpdesktop\build\phpdesktop-chrome.vcxproj] (compiling source file '../main.cpp')

Are you using CEF version 130.1.15+g34b05bb? As per instructions in README.

I am looking at the vcxproj file and looks like Debug configuration is missing stdcpp17 flag: https://github.com/cztomczak/phpdesktop/blob/chrome130/phpdesktop-chrome.vcxproj#L126

Change to Release configuration when building and that should fix it.

I'm an absolute amateur at C compiling. I figure there is a bit reading between the lines that I don't fully understand.

And about 5 000 more red lines of errors... 😞

So the building part is a complete discussion by it's own. I just need this thingy to run when there is a space character in the application path. Like C:\Program Files\phpDesktop.

[cztomczak]

Okay, that should be easy to fix.

For the previous errors as per Cmakelists.txt this should work:

cmake -G "Ninja" -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release ..
ninja cefclient cefsimple
