            Bug ID: 101361
           Summary: Current libinput git master doesn't handle paths with
                    spaces in them like it used to
           Product: Wayland
           Version: unspecified
          Hardware: x86-64 (AMD64)
                OS: Linux (All)
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: libinput
          Assignee: wayland-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
          Reporter: pointedstick at zoho.com

I keep my libinput project at ~/SpiderOak Hive/Software projects/git
projects/FreeDesktop/libinput

This path has spaces and special characters in it.

Today I went to pull down git master to recompile libinput with my no
hysteresis patch (https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=98839). However,
it died during `make` with an error obviously related to not correctly handling
paths with spaces in them:

  CC       libinput_test_suite_runner-test-lid.o
  CCLD     libinput-test-suite-runner
make[2]: Leaving directory '/home/nate/SpiderOak Hive/Software projects/git
projects/FreeDesktop/libinput/test'
Making all in tools
make[2]: Entering directory '/home/nate/SpiderOak Hive/Software projects/git
projects/FreeDesktop/libinput/tools'
  CC       libshared_la-shared.lo
  CCLD     libshared.la
ar: `u' modifier ignored since `D' is the default (see `U')
  CC       libinput-libinput-tool.o
  CCLD     libinput
libtool:   error: cannot find the library
'projects/FreeDesktop/libinput/src/libinput.la' or unhandled argument
'projects/FreeDesktop/libinput/src/libinput.la'
Makefile:662: recipe for target 'libinput' failed
make[2]: *** [libinput] Error 1



Moving my checkout to a path with no spaces in it (e.g. ~/libinput) eliminates
the issue, so it's clearly an issue with handling special characters in the
path.


This is a new behavior only seen since moving from openSUSE Tumbleweed to
Ubuntu, but it had been a while since I compiled. Could this be a bug in
Ubuntu's version of libtool, or is it related to some recent change in
libinput's build rules?
