[Plplot-general] CMake problem with hyphen in path

[Phil R. <p.d...@gm...>]

Hi Alan (I guess this is your expertise)
I've just tried to build plplot on a new Windows system and I am
getting problems.

After some digging I found that the issue is that my home directory
(where all my libraries are stored and where I am building plplot)
contains a hyphen with a space either side. Specifically it is
C:\Users\<my_username>\Onedrive - <my_employer>\Documents\usr\...
I would imagine I'm not the only person who has hit this problem as
this is the name that seems to be given by default when using
Ondedrive for business.

This filename then interacts with the logic in cmake_link_flags - see
plplot/modules/cmake/pkg-config.cmake line 261, which replaces " -"
with ";-".

This splits all my library paths in two and obviously causes errors.

I'm not really sure what to do about this? Any suggestions?

Phil
