Cannot build when parent directory contains space(s)

[Glavin001]

Duplicate, but not really solved: #80

---

I have a directory named Project Dev that I put all of the Git project clones into.

When I build nodegit with:

npm run-script gen && npm install && npm test

I eventually receive the following error:

clang: error: no such file or directory: 'Dev/nodegit/vendor/libgit2/build'

Notice the Dev instead of Project Dev.

I have a space in my path for the purpose of vetting out this error in dependencies. I can change it on my end, but I do not intend to have as a requirement to my project using nodegit: "your installation path must not contain any spaces".

I hope this is a quick and easy fix. I cannot use this project until it is resolved. I am going to try and fix it myself tomorrow, but I am not entirely sure where to start. If someone could even point me in the right direction I'll try my best to fix it and provide a Pull Request.

Thank you.

This is not an issue with nodegit. So I am closing this and watching node-gyp.
