[CMake] Newbie question

[Christian Convey]

Thanks Alan.

I went ahead an broke my project into a top-level CMake file, plus one
for a subdirectory containing library code, and one for a subdirectory
containing library-demo code.

That seems to work so far, EXCEPT:  when the path to the subdirectory
includes a directory with a space in the name (".../Simple IO/..."),
the build seems to fail.  (CMake is happy, make is not.)

On Linux, is there a way to cause the Makefiles produced by CMake to
be ok with pathnames that include spaces?

Thanks again,
Christian
