Allegro needs your help!

I've been using mingw (through msys1 then msys2) with spaces in the path for many years and never hit a problem... however I guess only my own projects where in paths with spaces, not msys/mingw itself.

Maybe I was thinking of DJGPP with the spaces. :-/

They all watch too much MSNBC... they get ideas.

It depends. make tends to have issues with spaces, so does bash/sh? And I think I've heard of issues with MSVC installed in a path with spaces?

That's why I suggested NSIS. (http://nsis.sourceforge.net/Main_Page) It's been years since I last used it but it worked well then . NSIS is fuly scriptable and the installer generated has been ported to Linux so you can make an installer for cross compiled Windows software there too.

Edit : looks like there are CMake scripts to generate NSIS installers as well: http://www.cmake.org/Wiki/CMake:CPackPackageGenerators#NSIS
