--- Comment #2 from Kevin Funk <kfunk at kde.org> ---
Upstream issue in zlib: From the root CMakeLists.txt:
```
    add_custom_command(OUTPUT ${CMAKE_CURRENT_BINARY_DIR}/zlib1rc.obj
                       COMMAND ${CMAKE_RC_COMPILER}
                            -D GCC_WINDRES
                            -I ${CMAKE_CURRENT_SOURCE_DIR}
                            -I ${CMAKE_CURRENT_BINARY_DIR}
                            -o ${CMAKE_CURRENT_BINARY_DIR}/zlib1rc.obj
                            -i ${CMAKE_CURRENT_SOURCE_DIR}/win32/zlib1.rc)
```

=> MinGW Makefiles code generated by CMake does not properly escape the path
containing spaces for CMAKE_RC_COMPILER, thus fails the compilation.

Fix: Don't install MinGW in a path containing spaces. It's as easy as that. The
MinGW project itself recommends against it, see e.g.:
