[CMake] Newbie question

[Kevin Tucker]

Path names with spaces seems to be a hard problem.  There's a bug posted
for this same problem with Microsoft's nmake:
http://www.itk.org/Bug/bug.php?op=show&bugid=3&pos=1 and it's marked
"Won't Fix".  No notes as to why that decision was made...

I need to figure a way around this as well...

Thanks Alan.

I went ahead an broke my project into a top-level CMake file, plus one
for a subdirectory containing library code, and one for a subdirectory
containing library-demo code.

That seems to work so far, EXCEPT:  when the path to the subdirectory
includes a directory with a space in the name (".../Simple IO/..."),
the build seems to fail.  (CMake is happy, make is not.)

On Linux, is there a way to cause the Makefiles produced by CMake to
be ok with pathnames that include spaces?

Thanks again,
Christian
