[CMake] Paths with spaces - Visual Studio

[David Cole]

The preferred way is simply to add the def file as a source file of
your library or executable:

  add_library(my lib SHARED
    ${cxx_sources}
    ${CMAKE_CURRENT_SOURCE_DIR}/c_api_vs.def
    )

Then you don't need to modify the linker flags at all.


HTH,
David
