Summary0014547: Unix Makefile generator won't escape '#'
DescriptionThe Unix Makefile generator won't escape '#' which is appeared in names of dependent files.

If we have a header file named like "P#HEADER", CMake dependency generator will output the name without escaping.

Then it will occurs a dependency error because there is not a file named like "P".
Steps To Reproduce(This test case requires FORTRAN compiler.)

1. Extract "test-case.tar.gz"
2. cd to "test"
3. make directory "build"
4. cd to "build"
5. cmake .. -G 'Unix Makefiles'
6. make

Outputs following: (Using GNU Make)
  make[2]: *** No rule to make target `../P', needed by `CMakeFiles/A.dir/A.F.o'. Stop.

Outputs following: (Using Solaris Make)
  make: Fatal error in reader: CMakeFiles/A.dir/depend.make, line 4: Unexpected comment seen

Additional InformationIt also occurs in any place where user inputted (target names, compile options, additional library names, and so on).
TagsNo tags attached.

Same problem applies to '$' as well, e.g. when a source file contains '#include "file$name.h"'.
