build error directory name with spaces

Hello,
        Build Environment: Visual Studio .NET 2003

If log4cxx is placed in a sub-directory with any parent directory containing
a space in the name, the build fails.  Has any come across this before?
Thanks!

Example: placing log4cxx-0.9.7 in:  C:\My Directory\log4cxx-0.9.7 will cause
the following build error:

------ Build started: Project: dll, Configuration: Debug Win32 ------

Directory\log4cxx-0.9.7\include\log4cxx\nt\EventLogCategories.mc
