    I'm trying to compile a third party library that stores .cpp and .h files in a subdirectory that contains spaces. This is causing the compiler not to find them. Is there a way to specify paths with spaces for the HEADERS and SOURCES section?

      @kitfox Putting the path in quotes is usually enough.

      But the best advice I can give you: avoid spaces at all. Rename the directories to have proper ASCII names without spaces will save you a lot of trouble.

      Also blame the library vendor so he becomes aware of the problem.

      Regards

      Qt has to stay free or it will die.
