            Bug ID: 219646
           Summary: Most Make targets missing when path to man-pages has
                    spaces
           Product: Documentation
           Version: unspecified
          Hardware: All
                OS: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P3
         Component: man-pages
          Assignee: documentation_man-pages@kernel-bugs.osdl.org
          Reporter: jason@jasonyundt.email
        Regression: No

The path to my clone of the Linux man-pages repo contains a space. This causes
Make to fail to find most targets.

Steps to Reproduce
==================

1.  Create a directory who’s name contains spaces by running this command:

    mkdir 'Name that contains spaces'

2. Change directory into that directory by running this command:

    cd 'Name that contains spaces'

3. Clone the man-pages Git repo by running this command:

    git clone https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/docs/man-pages/man-pages.git

4. Change directory into the repo by running this command:

    cd man-pages

5. Get help by running this command:

    make help

6. That previous command will have printed a new command that you can run to
get a list of available Make targets. Run that command.

Actual Results
==============

This list is printed:

> all
> help
> nothing

Expected Results
================

A list with over 100 Make targets is printed.

Additional Information
======================

I encountered this bug while using the tip of the man-pages’s master branch
(b199d102db5be24e0ac88eb6879e3e3b6e0ea722 at the moment).
