Re: cpptasks: Problem with MinGW on Windows Vista

OK, in a desperate attempt to solve my problem I managed to get rid of 
the "The filename or extension is too long" error by moving the content 
from "C:\ogre4j\ogre4j-1.4.9-beta5-src" to "C:\a" (!). However, I got a 
new error:

C:\a\build.xml:105: Could not launch g++: java.io.IOException: Cannot 
run program "g++" (in directory "C:\a\bin\c\release\obj"): CreateProcess 
error=87, The parameter is incorrect

I've been trying to find the cause of this error, and I came up with a 
couple of interesting sites, none of which helped me though. One idea 
was not to use * to specify the files 
(http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg78968.html), 
another was avoiding to use spaces in filenames 
(http://www.igniterealtime.org/community/thread/32616) and the third 
(https://woodstock.dev.java.net/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=617) I didn't 
understand, but maybe you do?

If not, do you have any suggestions on what I can do succeed with this 
build?

Thank you in advance!
