JamPlus

and since this port looks like it's going to be a huge PITA....

Original jam has problems with expanding paths with spaces. That caused tons of grief when trying to handle including in a path like:

c:/Program Files/Visual Studio/Include

jam would expand that to

/Ic:/Program /IFiles/Visual /IStudio/Include

Please tell me this is fixed before I go any further?

That is odd. I have a fresh Ubuntu installation that I just cloned JamPlus onto. I ran 'make linux', and then I built the unittest sample without issue.

What Linux distribution are you on? My guess is that fileunix.c's getexecutablepath() isn't working properly there. It retrieves the path via readlink("/proc/self/exe", buffer, bufferLen). Several Internet sites suggested that is the most portable way of retrieving the running executable's path.

Wow. Harsh. :)

Paths with spaces sent to the compiler are properly quoted or escaped according to what the platform expects.
