    Description

      The TARGET directive for QMake does not support spaces in the string. When creating a Makefile or XCode project, all characters including and after the space are ignored.

      If the space is escaped with a backslash, QMake will fail to create an XCode project. A Makefile generated with a TARGET string containing an escaped string will create an executable without a space in the file name but the name of the application in the Application Menu (in Mac OS X) will contain the desired string with a space in the name.
