I untarred the distribution in /cygdrive/c/Document and Settings/Francky Leyn/My Documents/LaTeX leyn@newyork ~/LaTeX/pdftex-1.40.5 $ ./build.sh ... build.sh stops with the following error: configure: error: can not run /cygdrive/c/Documents and Settings/Francky Leyn/My Documents/LaTeX/pdftex- 1.40.5/build/../src/config/config.sub The file exists and is executable: $ ls -lh "/cygdrive/c/Documents and Settings/Francky Leyn/My Documents/LaTeX/pdftex- 1.40.5/build/../src/config/config.sub" -rwx------+ 1 leyn None 32K Jul 31 19:00 /cygdrive/c/Documents and Settings/Francky Leyn/My Documents/LaTeX/pdftex- 1.40.5/build/../src/config/config.sub The file /cygdrive/c/Documents doesn't exist of course and that is why buid.sh stops its execution. Could the scripts be modified so that they can handle spaces?
