< * Allow building with directories containing spaces
> * Allow building in directories containing spaces
< There are two capabilities here, first the ability to build from a
< source directory that contains spaces, and second the ability to install
< into a directory that contains spaces. The first is probably not
< possible because 'gmake' and other compiler tools do not fully support
< spaces in path names. The second is possible with proper quoting in
< the makefiles. Because PostgreSQL supports relocatable installs, it
< is possible to install into a directory that doesn't contain spaces and
< then copy the install to a directory with spaces.
> This is probably not possible because 'gmake' and other compiler tools
> do not fully support quoting of paths with spaces.
>
> * Allow installing to directories containing spaces

> This is possible if proper quoting is added to the makefiles for the
