Description Hubert Figuiere (:hub) 2017-01-18 16:48:09 UTC 
In the .cbc set a prefix with a <SPACE> in the name. It will not be escaped properly for the configure step.

Workaround: use a prefix that doesn't have a space.

Names and shell-based build systems don't get along very well. Trying to fix this is going to be like whackamole. 

I looked at it, and there's a whole bunch of places where it's going to be hell to fix this, and that's just on the Cerbero side. There's going to be more on the Autotools side.

It's unfortunate, but this is a WONTFIX.
