test.mak(148) : fatal error U1087: cannot have : and :: dependents for same target

This is just building from the files it gives me. Am I missing something obvious here??

Someone before also had this error, from what I remember he used a space in the project name.

I think I found the problem


Code:

# -------------------------------------------
# Base Directory for gcc arm-agb-elf replace with
# wherever you put your gba devkitadv files.
# -------------------------------------------

DEVDIR  = C:\DevkitAdv\

# -------------------------------------------
# Source directory (where your project's source files are located.)
# -------------------------------------------

SRCDIR  = C:\DOCUMENTS AND SETTINGS\S YAU\MY DOCUMENTS\GBA PROGRAMS\test\



It just doesnt like spaces in either the 'DEVDIR' or the 'SRCDIR'.

Thanks for the help anyway

I found an interesting way round the problem.

go to: http://www.sysinternals.com

and download 'junction'.

Bascially it is the equilavent of a shortcut folder in Windows but it fools the computer in thinking it is a normal folder and therefore treats it as one. However be for warned that if you delete the newly created folder, it deletes the folder it was pointing to as well.
