Summary: build.sh can't handle pathnames with spaces
Initial Comment:
Dear,
I want to compile pdftex for cygwin.
I untarred the distribution in
/cygdrive/c/Document and Settings/Francky Leyn/My
Documents/LaTeX
leyn at 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?
Best regards,
Francky Leyn

I'm sorry, but fixing this needs a change in the whole
autofoo system of TL, which is not likely to happen soon.

This needs a new configure script; I've pushed this upstream
(to TeXlive).
