Summary0013694: CMAKE_OSX_SYSROOT isn't quoted, breaking builds when the SDK path contains a space
DescriptionCMAKE_OSX_SYSROOT is eventually consumed by cmLocalGenerator::AddArchitectureFlags which will generate something like '-isysroot $SYSROOT'

I keep multiple versions of Xcode around in /Applications/Xcode $version.app/ so the sysroot path will contain a space.

The fix (for my case) is to wrap the sysroot path in quotes like so: '-isysroot "$SYSROOT"'

I can't imagine that this would break anything, and can only help.

I have applied a patch here https://github.com/jevinskie/cmake/commits/master [^]
Steps To Reproduce1) Rename your Xcode.app folder such that it contains a space.
2) Try to build something
3) The build fails because the sysroot path was not properly quoted.

I still have 10.7.5 installed on my Mac, with Xcode 4.2.1 at "/Developer/Applications/Xcode.app".

When I apply this patch, I cannot build with the Xcode generator if I change the root to have a space in it (i.e., "/Devel Oper"), nor can I build when I change "Xcode.app" to "Xco De.app". I get errors about "unknown compiler".

So... while the patch seems appropriate, and apparently fixes things for your scenario, I don't think it's sufficient for fixing all scenarios similar to it. I think there are more places where we'll need fixes besides the one location you've patched here.
