Dear,
I have already tried moving the Condor source directory to a simple path, but in the config files there are many references to the Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0 directory and it assumes that the source files are within a subdirectory of this. Although I much prefer Linux, I have decided to build and develop Condor on Windows XP due to its vast amount of visual studio projects. I assumed by this that Windows XP was the primary development platform for Condor developers, but I am beginning to doubt it.
So again, I could rename all references to directories with spaces in it, but I would much rather know how the Windows developers ever managed to install Condor with these serieus flaws in the build scripts. However, if I do not receive a reply soon, I will begin renaming the references and hope that it works this way.
Thanks for your help!
WIth kind regards,
Kristof.

Now I see.
try moving the condor src directory to a simple named path.
e.g. C:\tmp\condor
try building from that loc.
Let us know if you still have issues.

I use the default cmd tool for running the bat scripts. Commands in the make script such as 'mkdir C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio...' create the directories 'C:\Program', 'Files\Microsoft', 'Visual', ... which can be expected from the default command-line behaviour. But since I was advised to do so in the installation instructions and since there are lots of hard-coded references to C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\..., I have used all the default paths and settings during the preparations of the Condor compilation.
