- Sub: Re: MABuild and single quotes
-
- Sam,
-
- The problem with quotes is a general one with MPW, and is not specific to
- MacApp or MABuild. Most people encounter this when they try to use the MPW
- installer on a disk that has a quote in it (ie, "Sam's Disk"). The problem has
- to do with the fact that single and double quotes are used to create a singele
- item with spaces in them that would normally be considered as two or more
- items.
-
- There are probably ways of getting around this, but they are very tricky,
- involved, and time consuming. In other words, MABuild would get even slower.
- The easiest thing to do is to rename your folder to something more digestible
- to the scripts.
-
- Hope this helps,
