Fix installation under path with whitespaces
Bug Report
Your environment
- mediasoup version: 3.9.4
Issue description
When installed under directory whose path has whitespaces, installation fails, see https://mediasoup.discourse.group/t/mediasoup-installation-issue-ubuntu-20-04-node-16-13-1-pip-21-3-1-python-3-8-10/3804, we need to fix that.
I believe some paths need to be taken into quotes in the Makefile, didn't dig into details yet, so it is all on our side.
Creating Mediasoup Files in using other other local disk space in Dual Boot
Basically i am on Dual boot and using other local disk space 'Volume/Backend/mediasoup/mediasoup-3' so maybe thats why i was facing that issue that time
But as @nazar-pc said for changing directory i clone that repo. in Desktop and same process and issue resolved but getting some warning
Link of warning of C in Mediasoup Discourse
hope Mediasoup Team will fix these also
And Thanks for this helping Community
i will ask more Questions in future

@nazar-pc the linked post doesn't seem related to having white spaces in the installation path, do I miss something?
It does, see, target is /media/tech/New Volume/Backend/mediasoup/mediasoup-3/worker/out/pip, then you see "invalid requirement", which is suspiciously the part of the path after whitespace:
ERROR: Invalid requirement: 'Volume/Backend/mediasoup/mediasoup-3/worker/out/pip'
I've tried everything and this is hell. Not even sure there is a fix, and impossible to fix it in all OS.
So I've fixed this issue another way:
I'm sure there is a fix, but not sure we want it in the codebase. Not supporting whitespaces is certainly one way to "fix" it :joy:
Searching for "Makefile whitespaces" is just maddening. I just gave up. Add I love the fix 😅
I would not say this issue has been resolved. I had a whitespace in my Filepath and it didn't work, when the whitespace was removed - it worked.
Yes. As explained in comments above we gave up. And we documented that the installation path cannot have white spaces. PRs are welcome, we don't know how to fix that.
This is probably fixed in PR https://github.com/versatica/mediasoup/pull/1239/ in commit https://github.com/versatica/mediasoup/pull/1239/commits/c7720f2da4f399a81d1b482cf28d8d604207ff19.
