[CMake] Problem with cmake when make is in a path with spaces.

[David Ojeda]

Hello all,

I have a problem on a mac os x server where I want to compile a simple code
with cmake. The cmake process fails because it cannot compile a test file.
The output file shows some bizarre error. Apparently it cannot find the make
command. The problem lies, I think, in the fact that the make executable is
in a directory with spaces, so commands may need to escape the space.
Could anyone please shed a light on this issue? I have no idea how to solve
this issue, specially because I am not the administrator of the server, so I
cannot change where cmake is (I do not have permission to do a soft link to
a non-space path either).

Thanks a lot!

Here is the output:
