stiching error on OSX 10.5

[Jstrom]

Hello,

I downloaded the latest disk images of hugin for OSX leopard and the
autopano-sift-c plugins.
Control points are automatically generated ok.

When it comes to stitching, I always seem to get the error

First a pop window:
-----------------------
Error during stitching
Please report the complete text to the bug tracker on http://sf.net/projects/hugin
-----------------------
Then a terminal screen window:
Title bar:
huginpto_jgL0gg - Stitching

contents:
/var/folders/Tz/TzBR9NFsEqyQoKamDNu6sU+++TI/-Tmp-/huginmk_QRtDLF:587:
*** target pattern contains no `%'. Stop.
-----------------------

Does anybody know how to fix this? The disk image is the universal
binary.
Any help would be appreciated.

Do you have a ':' in a folder or file name?

This will get fixed at some point but until then you need to stitch
in folders with 'normal' characters.

Please mention which version you are using. Are you on a PPC or an Intel? Which country settings are you using  (with regard to codepage and so on) ? 

(The generated path in /var/folders is random generated and I've never seen it contain a  ":". I tried a couple of projects both on Tiger and Leopard and only saw the "/" as separator.)

The path indicates this is Leopard (Tiger does not use secure tmp dir
path). The random code in temporary file is in 6 characters, so that
means the :587: part is most likely added by something else. My be it
is a part of gnumake's message? If not, then finding what's adding it
is a good place to start.

I'm suspecting 2-byte characters and other non-alphabet symbols in the
path. Anyway, more info needed rather about file and executable paths.

The :587: bit refers to the line number in the Makefile that is
generating the error.

The "pattern contains no '%'" error is what make reports when it
encounters a target containing a ':', see bug 2005561:

That sounds like it.

The 'apparent' behaviour of file names inherites that of classic
system on which ':' was the separator. On OSX, the file names with ':'
in the POSIX path appear to contain '/' in Finder. I can reproduce the
error now.
