Subject: Build problem with square brackets in build path

Message-ID: <4793552.atqmVPU5g4@thinkpad-pgpro> (raw)

I am not sure it is really a bug, but nevertheless

If you do

mkdir [source]
git clone git://git.postgresql.org/git/postgresql.git [source]
mkdir build; cd build
../\[source\]/configure 
make

you will get

make[1]: *** No rule to make target 'generated-headers'.  Stop.

If there are no "[]" in the path to the source, everything is OK.

It would be OK for me, if it still does not work. But I would appreciate at 
least proper error message there (or at configure step), this would save time, 
for figuring out, why it suddenly stopped working.
