It isn't the "Mac" side that has the problem, it is actually the "Unix" side that has the problem. Since arguments and such on command lines are delimited by spaces if you have a space in the file path then to some programs on the command line, it may be interpreted as 2 paths and not one. I believe in early OS X 10.0 time frame there was an iTunes installer bug where the path was not quoted and people were losing their entire home directories because they had a space in the path somewhere. Judicious use of Quoting in unix is the only thing that can get you around those problems.

just my 2 cents.. having been stung by bugs like this before.

You have a Library Search Path that has an embedded special character (such as a space). Currently the only way Xcode can archive this in its project file is to break up the build setting in this way. We hope to have a better fix in the future.

Don't take this as an offense because it isn't meant to be one, but: I find it very funny if not ironic that a simple space would pose a problem on a Mac in the year 2007. Even more since it seems to be caused by the move to "every thing is better here" Unix.


No offense, just an observation that makes me chuckle.
