    Description

      Using qmake to build an Xcode project file from a QT project file doesn't quote some file paths in the Xcode project.pbxproj file, causing build errors in Xcode if the path to the file has spaces in it (e.g. "/Users/user/Documents/QT Projects/test").

      Steps to reproduce:
      1. Create a new QT project.
      2. Use qmake to create an Xcode project file.
      3. Open the project in Xcode and try to compile.

      The following errors are produced:
      Make: test.xcodeproj/qt_makeqmake.mak: No such file or directory
      Make: test.xcodeproj/qt_preprocess.mak: No such file or directory

      Workaround:
      1. Locate the xcodeproj file created from the qmake process.
      2. Show its contents (Show Package Contents).
      3. Open project.pxproj in a text editor.
      4. Search for "qt_preprocess.mak" and "qt_makeqmake.mak".

      Something like the following lines should be found:

      shellScript = "make -C /Users/user/Documents/QT Projects/test -f 'test.xcodeproj/qt_preprocess.mak'";

      shellScript = "make -C /Users/user/Documents/QT Projects/test -f 'test.xcodeproj/qt_makeqmake.mak'";

      Add quotes around the paths so that they become '/Users/user/Documents/Qt Projects/test'.

      5. The project should now compile.
