moc: Too many input files specified - unable to clear error.

[Carlton]

Hi,
I can't shift this error when I try to build my application. (Win XP, SP2, Creator 2.0.1 Qt 4.7.2).
I have tried recreating the .pro file, and deleting the makefiles. The code compiles and builds under Linux.

Running build steps for project CF2new...

Hello,

This is due to a bug somewhere, the string passed to the moc.exe does not contain the double-quote, so if you have space in your path name, it is interpreted as several different files.

Try to put your project in a directory with a path containing no spaces and it should work.
