objcopy fails on build if there is a space in executable name

"Last_Bastion" builds fine but if I name the binary "Last Bastion" I get the below error log.

Okay, so it was using the objcopy from my mingw installation because it was in the path. Upon renaming the mingw objcopy to something else temporarily, it built fine with a space in the binary name.

 

Sure, Case 1385726

 

Well, I just got the same error with /usr/bin/objcopy on Linux. But this one seems legit?

Also, the build succeeded, so I'm not sure what's wrong. Maybe just not be able to generate the DontShip folder or the debugging symbols, but the build itself is fine?

 

Build always report success after the objcopy error log, but the resulting files are way smaller than a normal build and they don't work correctly. I still get the error while using Unity's copy of objcopy by the way, but not every time. Not having any spaces in the build path fixes the problem.

 

Sorry for bumping this one.
Just wanted to let people know that this still happens in 2020.3.30f1 LTS if you build on a windows machine. In my case it was an old install of Strawberry Perl in the env PATH.

I can see that the objcopy is part of the Toolchain package (com.unity.toolchain.win-x86_64-linux-x86_64). But the build still seems to just pick the first it find in the %PATH%. Is there any way to configure this manually?

The funny things is. If I remove my global objcopy from the environment then it seems to pick the right objcopy (C:\Users\geo\AppData\Local\unity3d\cache\sysroots\windows-x86_64-linux-x86_64\llvm-9.0.0-1\bin\objcopy.exe in my case).

Still get an error though:

Is there a way to observe the progress on this issue?
I can't find it on https://unity3d.com/unity/qa/bug-reporting and https://fogbugz.unity3d.com/ requires a ticket in addition to the case id.

 

The issue was closed a couple weeks ago due to Unity engineers not being able to reproduce it :/

 

Oh :-(
Thanks for letting me know.

 

Thanks for your reply.
I am in the middle of upgrading to 2021 at the moment. I will try to make a repro project and submit a bug later. Though given that it might depend on the local environment setup I am not entirely sure if this can be reproduced easily.

The other error I had seemed to come from the space in the Binary Name as @SarperS mentioned before, thx btw..
Still, the linux build seems somehow broken. It works fine at first boot but at second+ boot I only get a black screen. Thus I have paused development on it for now.

 

Am happy to report that with 2021.17f1 everything works like a charm
