Compiling problems on cygwin

Rubyists,

I am trying to compile ruby-1.8.1 using cygwin and I get this error during
make:

make[1]: Entering directory /cygdrive/c/Documents and Settings/Shashank Date/cygwin/ruby-1.8.1/ext/bigdecimal' make[1]: *** No rule to make target/cygdrive/c/Documents’, needed by
bigdecimal.o'. Stop. make[1]: Leaving directory/cygdrive/c/Documents and Settings/Shashank
Date/cygwin/ruby-1.8.1/ext/bigdecimal’
make: *** [all] Error 1

Any suggestions?

Looks like it’s the space in the path that’s doing it. Eliminate that
and try again.

FWIW I built the latest 1.8 from CVS on Cygwin very recently, no
problem.

Cheers,
Gavin

IMHO rather the build system should be made space safe…

But of course ! Spotted that a few minutes after posting … sorry for the
noise.
