Building chromium under windows: ninja -libpath doesn't recognize space (even in quoted path!)

Following all prerequisites and instructions from here https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromium/src/+/master/docs/windows_build_instructions.md#Build-Chromium

When I'm finally getting to the building part:

autoninja -C out\Default chrome

I receive error:

Files\SQLXML: no such file or directory lld-link: error: lib failed

Apparently -libpath argument is not parsed correctly despite it's in quotes:

"-libpath:C:\Program Files\SQLXML 4.0\bin\"

The failing command:

ninja: Entering directory `out\Default' [18 processes, 68/41674 @ 17.3/s : 3.9...ic_annotations/dynamic_annotations.lib

Looks like you have added your own code in third_party folder, cause dynamic_annotations is not a third-party dependency of Chromium. You should post the contents of build.gn so that we can analyze further – Asesh
@Asesh no, nothing added, pure code from repo – amarax

After executing "gn gen out/Default" command open "out/Default/toolchain.ninja" file and quote path inside -libpath parameter once more with single quotes in all occurrences on SQLXML reference: 

"-libpath:'C:\Program Files (x86)\SQLXML 4.0\bin\'" "-libpath:C:\Program Files\SQLXML 4.0\bin\"

for some reason only references to SQLXML required this change
