<pre>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 (<a class="bz_bug_link

title="NEW - Somehow conditionalize hysteresis (hardware black/whitelist, device property introspection, user-exposed setting, etc)"
href="show_bug.cgi?id=98839">https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=98839</a>). 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'

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?</pre>
