Fails to build if there's a space in the directory tree #37

Closed rhrao closed 10 years ago

rhrao commented 10 years ago

I was trying to install bunyan earlier today and dtrace-provider is an optional component for bunyan. gyp was throwing errors because it could not "find" the directory. I went through the console output and saw that it was not displaying one of the parent directory's name properly as there was a space in the name. I renamed the parent dir (removed the space) and tried installing bunyan again and it worked.

As I understand it, this is actually: https://github.com/TooTallNate/node-gyp/issues/65

Oh! Awesome. You're absolutely right. Thanks for that @trentm !

Is there a solution without removing the space from the directory? I'd strongly prefer not to have to rename path to contain no spaces. Any help would be really appreciated!

I don't think there's anything we can do in this module as a user of node-gyp - TooTallNate/node-gyp#65 is the issue, and any fix or workaround would have to be there, I think.

Thank you for your reply, @chrisa. This is unfortunate, I will keep looking into the node-gyp issue #65. Hopefully there's something that resolved this issue. Thanks again!
