in thread How let Inline tell space in path?

When using GNU make on Linux I have no such problems. I would consider dmake and nmake in need of patches.

In my experience, `nmake` does not need such patches as it understands whitespace in paths well enough, provided the places where the arguments are handed to the shell are properly quoted - on Win32, `system(LIST)` is basically `system(STRING)`. With `dmake`, there was at least one bug with properly quoted whitespace paths, but that one is supposed to be fixed with `dmake` v4.11, which Steve Hay likely will put out as well.
