run-program fails in Windows with spaces in the executable path

Open billstclair opened this issue 6 years ago • 0 comments

Running a recent Windows 10 in a VMWare VM, with a week-old CCL master download. The problem appears to be in ccl::make-windows-command-line.

Error 2 is "The system cannot find the file specified."

I worked around it by making a copy of my CCL directory on the Z drive, which is mapped to a VMWare shared directory with the Mac host.

? z:\v8>"c:\Users\Bill St. Clair\lisp\ccl\wx86cl64" -n
"c:\Users\Bill St. Clair\lisp\ccl\wx86cl64" -n
Clozure Common Lisp Version 1.12-dev (v1.12-dev.4-3-gdd5622e9) WindowsX8664
