> On a windows build system where python is installed at "C:\Program Files\Python26" (space in path name) the INSTALL project fails every time.
> 1. Execute a cmake with "-DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=install".
> The generated managementgen\cmake_install.cmake has
> {noformat}
>   list(APPEND CMAKE_ABSOLUTE_DESTINATION_FILES
>    "c:\Program Files\Python26\Lib\site-packages/qmfgen")
> {noformat}
> 2. Execute "make install" with (VS2008)
> {noformat}
> devenv qpid-cpp.sln /build "Debug|Win32" /project INSTALL
> {noformat}
> The complaint from install is
> {noformat}
> 1>CMake Warning (dev) at managementgen/cmake_install.cmake:35 (list):
> 1>  Syntax error in cmake code at
> 1>    D:/Users/crolke/svn/qpid/b32-2008/managementgen/cmake_install.cmake:36
> 1>  when parsing string
> 1>    c:\Program Files\Python26\Lib\site-packages/qmfgen
> 1>  Invalid escape sequence \P
> {noformat}
> Fixing that with 
> {noformat}
> file(TO_CMAKE_PATH "${PYTHON_SITEARCH_PACKAGES}" PYTHON_SITEARCH_PACKAGES_PATH)
> string(REPLACE " " "\\ " PYTHON_SITEARCH_PACKAGES_PATH ${PYTHON_SITEARCH_PACKAGES_PATH})
> {noformat}
> Results in a Permission Denied as C:\Program Files is protected.
> 3. Cmake inclusion of directory managementgen and the installation into the system Python packages directory is not optional. So install gets stuck.
> This jira proposes adding an option BUILD_QMFGEN that would allow a user to suppress installing qmf-gen into the system. This lets a user avoid the spaces-in-the-path-name issue and move on.
> On systems where Python is installed in a directory that "works" then the system site-packages are overwritten with each developer install. Is that right? How can a developer test junk code without trashing the system for other users? Having a switch to suppress qmfgen for dev builds would dodge this issue, too.
