As this issue is pretty old and I expect reporter won't reply anymore, I will
close this bug. If issue still exists, please open an new report for it.

I'm still following this bug. So far I've been using the workaround
successfully. I'll try on more time without the `--preprocessor' option and
report back.

Hi Guys,

If I understand this bug report correctly, the problem is that the popen()
system call does not cope with paths that contain spaces, right ? If so, then
I am not sure that there is anything that the binutils can actually do. Is
there a Windows specific way (or maybe mingw specific way) of converting a path
containing spaces into one that does not contain spaces, but which will still
locate the correct file ?

Cheers
Nick

Hmm, reads title of the PR.... OK so we need to escape the spaces in the name.
Hang on sec then...

Looking at the patch it seems it would do what it supposed to do. Is there a
way to get a binary version ?

Sorry - I do not have access to a mingw development environment. Where do you
get your binaries from - maybe they could help create a new one for you ?

I could possibly build a 64-bit cygwin targeted version of windres. Would that
help ?

Cheers
Nick
