[Qt-interest] QT 4.4.3 compiling problem Window XP

[Alan M. Carroll]

In this regard, people might find the "linkd" utility handy (originally from the Windows Toolkit, not sure where it is now). This creates directory symbolic links on NTFS. For instance, I use it to symlink "C:/Apps" to "C:/Program Files" so that I can specify paths to applications installed in the standard place without spaces in the path. (Linking "C:/home" to "C:/Documents and Settings" can be handy as well).

The culprit is probably more on the side of qmake (or moc/uic), which doesn't properly (or not always) put ""s around paths. Because I don't think Visual Studio (nmake) itself has issues with spaces.
