Nope, it does not. Unfortunately, make really does not work properly with spaces in filenames, so Automake isn't going to be able to do anything to help. See §28.4 "Limitations on File Names" in the Automake manual: https://www.gnu.org/software/automake/manual/automake.html#Limitations-on-File-Names in particular: Source and installation file names like main.c are limited even further: they should conform to the POSIX/XOPEN rules described above where the "POSIX/XOPEN rules" are described thusly: Portable packages should limit themselves to POSIX file names. These can contain ASCII letters and digits, ‘_’, ‘.’, and ‘-’. File names consist of components separated by ‘/’. File name components cannot begin with ‘-’.
