           Summary: Spaces in directory name for project cause
                    configure/make failure
           Product: kdevelop
           Version: 2.1.5
          Platform: Gentoo Packages
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: kdevelop-devel at kdevelop.org
        ReportedBy: ben at benroe.com


Version:           2.1.5 (using KDE KDE 3.1.2)
Installed from:    Gentoo Packages
Compiler:          gcc 3.2.1 
OS:          Linux

If I create any type of KDevelop project in a directory which has a space in its name, the configure and make scripts can't cope with it - for example:

Configuring and then making a project in /home/bdr/PhD Work/Interface gives the error:

/home/bdr/PhD: /home/bdr/PhD: No such file or directory 
configure: WARNING: `missing' script is too old or missing 

during configure and:

make: /home/bdr/PhD: No such file or directory 
make: *** No rule to make target `/home/bdr/PhD'. Stop. 
*** failed *** 

during Make. I think the filenames and directories need to be enclosed in quotes in the scripts.
