错误：C 编译器“C:/Program Files...”无法编译简单的测试程序

Question

I am working to install Carla from source and already installed the unreal engine. When i try to build the CARLA using the make Python API command, i am getting an error as

C compiler "C:/Program Files (x86)/Microsoft Visual Studio/2019/Community/VC/Tools/MSVC/14.29.30133/bin/Hostx64/x64/cl.exe" is not able to compile a simple test program

Herewith attaching the full lines from the x64 Native Tools command prompt

What may be the issue?

Answer 1

I got the answer and sharing it here. Thought someone needs it.

Check for any spaces in the installation folder of the gnuwin make.

For eg: The gnuwin make was first installed in the directory C:\Program Files\GnuWin32\bin and since there is a space between Program and files, the error came.

As a work around, install the gnuwin make in a directory without spaces.
