Eliminate whitespaces in directory command-line arguments

A number of folders I possess have name with spaces. This apparently causes a problem when attempting to compile a source file located in such folder. How do I ignore whitespaces for gcc compilation?

You can escape spaces using \

eg:

$ gcc -o bin /media/code\ folder/code.c

Use quotes around your command

gcc "C:\my file.c" -o "C:\my folder\my file.exe"
