Getting Error while making binutils.

[andrewerhardt]

Hello,
I'm trying to build binutils and I am getting an error when I run make. I am using binutils version 2.27 and I am using Cygwin on Windows 10 64bit.

My Configure Output is:

Try using a directory without spaces in the name, or escape it somehow. Only half of your directory name is being used as two separate commands.

That was the issue. Thanks!

Also, don't use cygwin, use Bash for Windows since you have windows 10.
