Details:

Hi All,

This works with both CVS and stable builds:
$(info >$(wildcard c:/Program\ Files/Common\ Files)<)
->
>c:/Program Files/Common Files<

This works with stable build, but fails (returns empty string) with CVS
build:
$(info >$(wildcard c:/Program\ Files\ (x86)/Common\ Files)<)
->
>c:/Program Files/Common Files< with 3.81
>< with CVS

[ Tests were run on Win XP x64 Edition ]

Brgds,
Viktor

Follow-up Comment #1, bug #27591 (project make):

Ops, in the second test, ">c:/Program Files/Common Files< with 3.81"
should read ">c:/Program Files (x86)/Common Files< with 3.81".

Brgds,
Viktor

Follow-up Comment #2, bug #27591 (project make):

Hi folks,

Any follow-up on this bug?

I've just retested with this binary build:

http://sourceforge.net/projects/mingw-w64/files/External%20binary%20packages%20%28Win64%20hosted%29/make/make_20091026_bin.tar.gz/download


and the problems remains the same. This kills some tool detection code which
uses $(wildcard) to do its magic, when the tool to be detected is installed on
an x64 Windows system (f.e. all Visual Studio installations).

Brgds,
Viktor

Follow-up Comment #3:

I just checked and I can reproduce this on Linux as well, with any globbing
string containing parens; it seems to be a problem with parsing the open
paren; if I replace that with "?" to match a single character, it works.

Follow-up Comment #4, bug #27591 (project make):

Hi Paul,

Thanks for your answer.

Further investigation revealed that the problem started with either of these
two changes:

2009-09-16  Paul Smith  <psmith@...>
2009-09-15  Paul Smith  <psmith@...>

(Checkout at 20090901 is OK, checkout at 20090920 is wrong)

Brgds,
Viktor
