#2243 libtool does not handle spaces in destination path
The libtool script supplied with MinGW has difficulties to handle spaces in paths, and as such 'make install' will fail if the destination folder is, for example, 'C:\Program Files\XXX'.
The problem is due to classical omission of quotes when evaluating some expressions.
To fix it, edit the C:\MinGW\bin\libtool and search for
func_show_eval "$install_prog\$stripme \$file \$destfile" 'exit $?'
and replace with
func_show_eval "$install_prog\$stripme \$file \"\$destfile\"" 'exit $?'
Similarly replace
func_show_eval "$install_prog $file $destfile" 'exit $?'
with
func_show_eval "$install_prog \$file \"\$destfile\"" 'exit $?'
