After going through all of the motions to install the ceylon compiler, I was met with a bizarre build error.

[ceylon-compile] ceylon compile: file not found: C:\Users\Jezza\Desktop\Ceylon
[ceylon-compile] Projects\ceylon\language\UsersJezzaDesktopCeylon Projectsceylonlanguage\C:

Instructions that I followed: https://github.com/eclipse/ceylon-ide-intellij
I'm planning to help out on the plugin, as it's in a bit of a sorry state. :)

I will point out, this wasn't the first error.
This is just the state it's currently in.

I did get an error exactly like #7314, but somehow managed to get past it.
I'll try going through all of the steps again, and I'll post the error if it pops up again.

After about an hour, I think I worked it out.
That error comes when trying to build the ceylon.language module.
I don't know why it happens with that one.

But the first hint was Annotated.ceylon.
The first file to compile, and it failed to find it, with a weird string concat.
Rerunning the build command with -debug gave me some idea that it was related to process spawning.
Fast forward a bit, and I guessed that it had to do with the whitespace within a parent directory.

Renamed the directory to get rid of the whitespace, and it builds.

So, it seems the process spawning doesn't play nice with spaces within parent directories.

OK, thanks for investigating.

Seems to me like a dupe of #6352.

Yeah, it is. I'll close this one, as it seems the other ticket covers all the information...
Not that there's a lot.
