afaik make doesn't like spaces in filenames and their use is strongly 
discouraged. I think there are some tricks to handle them but it'll soon 
become a nightmare to maintain (I've read something about that, probably in 
the info page, but can't find it now). So if possible I'd rather suggest to 
modify your project and just avoid them.
