Spaces in absolute path

[joylyft]

I'm new to building and I keep getting a spaces in absolute path error. There are no spaces in my build directory.

please show your log.

Thanks for your quick response. I believe it's filesystem related (I'm using btrfs with subvolumes) but how do I post a log. makeMtk doesn't show any verbose logging or print a logfile with the -t option...

The log is your terminal stdout, I need your error message.

kingdom% ./makeMtk -t mt6572 n k sh: grep: command not found sh: env: command not found

You are building in a directory whose absolute path contains a space character:

Please move your source tree to a path that does not contain any spaces.

Directory names containing spaces not supported kingdom%

Removing the culprit code from makeMtk doesn't work; I just keep getting the "help" options.

[joylyft]

I first set my PATH variable to the toolchain in ./prebuilt. If I don't do that I just get the help options after running makeMtk. If I remove the code in makeMtk that checks for spaces, it won't compile anything or print errors it just gives me the help file.

what's your os? your system can't find grep & env command. you can check your system path.

I'm using arch with plasma5. My normal PATH variable is /usr/bin where env and grep are located. But for compiling this kernel the readme says to set the PATH variable to the toolchain folder.

My android repo folder is /var/sdk/. Inside here is my "android" folder where this kernel is located.

Sorry, English is not my native language; please excuse typing errors.

You can use export PATH=$PATH:\you\tools\path add new path. but you must't delete old path.

That's fine. It warms my heart that you desire to help :) I'll give this a shot.

[joylyft]

It warms my heart means it makes me happy :)

If you shell is bash, you can add this command to ~/.bashrc, autoload system env, Good lucky!
