Windows: Ninja incorrectly passes whitespace-containing-path to windres.exe and cc1.exe

I encountered this error when building a executable with windows .rc file on windows. I'm using cmake 3.25.0, with ninja 1.11.1 as generator, and MinGW 12.2.0 as compiler. But I found that windres failed to build rc objects.

The reason is that, there are some pathes contains whitespaces, and they are not wrapped with quotations when passed to cc1.exe, so cc1.exe received incorrect pathes because they are spilited by whitespaces.

I have tried MinGW Makefiles as generator, and this bug doesn't occur, the rc object can be built successfully.

Example for reappearance

Here 's a simpilest example contatining 3 files. Whitespaces are introduced by OpenCL, because on my PC it is installed at C:/Program Files/NVIDIA GPU Computing Toolkit/CUDA/v12.0, that contains lots of whitespaces. build.ninja is also uploaded. build.ninja

I configure and build it with following command:

D:\ProgramFiles\CMake\bin\cmake.EXE -G Ninja --no-warn-unused-cli -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE:STRING=Debug -DCMAKE_C_COMPILER:FILEPATH=D:/ProgramFilesU/gcc-compilers/mingw-gcc12/bin/gcc.exe -DCMAKE_CXX_COMPILER:FILEPATH=D:/ProgramFilesU/gcc-compilers/mingw-gcc12/bin/g++.exe -SD:/Git/test_ninja_space -Bd:/Git/build-test_ninja_space-win
D:\ProgramFiles\CMake\bin\cmake.EXE --build d:/Git/build-test_ninja_space-win --config Debug --target all --parallel --

This project is configured successfully, but following errors occur when building:
