Created attachment 156955 [details] Screenshot 1. Create a gmake project on Windows with spaces in the folder name that holds the source files and Makefile named "Makefile". 2. Invoke create new C++ project with existing sources. 3. Navigate to the project folder and select it and choose Custom configuration mode. 4. Accept all the defaults with the Next button. Results: When you get to project name and location panel, it gives a bogus red message "Spaces are not allowed in makefile name" although the file is "Makefile" with no spaces. Removing the spaces from the Project name does not allow you to proceed. Workaround: Take the spaces out of the project folder before invoking the new project wizard. I have no problems with projects with space in the project name otherwise. If I do not use the custom wizard it works. See attached screenshot.

Correction: Removing the spaces in the project name in the Wizard allows you to proceed. Workaround: Remove spaces from project name, but this will place the NetBeans project data in another folder. Otherwise, remove the spaces in the folder before invoking the wizard will allow you to put the NetBeans project data in the same folder as the Makefile. But still, the message is bogus and projects with spaces in the name and folder work fine otherwise.
