RE: [Gcl-devel] Axiom on Windows GCL problems

[Bill Page]

Camm,

Thanks for the proposed patch.

As I understand you patch it will enclose the last two
command line paramaters in 'single' quotes. Unfortunately
this wont work on Windows since ' is treated quite differently
than ". What I need at actual "..." surrounding these
parameters. Will a patch like this with the \" escaped
succeed?

-      (format nil "~a -I~a ~a ~a -c -w ~a -o ~a"
+      (format nil "~a -I~a ~a ~a -c -w \"~a\" -o \"~a\""

Regards,
Bill Page.
