Autoconf spaces in path

I just converted a c++ project to a autotools project and written a few lines in configure.ac from here. Build fails saying "sh: /home/me/bla: No such file or directory" when my path should be "bla bla". The problem is I didn't write any path anywhere. What shoul I do? Except for renaming the path... Doh!

Some silly operating systems believe you shouldn't have spaces in names. I'm sure using bla_bla will make everything easier. – Bo Persson
Agreed, but I used a path with spaces to fix issues that someone with this kind of path might encounter. It's not a private project, it's supposed to run on any Linux machine. – LucianMLI

Sorry, there are just a few things that you can't do with autoconf and have a path with spaces in the name is one of them.
