I discovered that if I attempt to follow the build guide (https://meta-toolkit.org/setup-guide.html) from a directory that has a parent directory with spaces in the path, it fails at the final make step.

If I then run the following:
git clone https://github.com/meta-toolkit/meta.git
cd meta/
git submodule update --init --recursive
mkdir build
cd build
cp ../config.toml .
CXX=clang++ cmake ../ -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release -DICU_ROOT=/usr/local/opt/icu4c
make
I get this output with errors:

Oh fun, this looks like it's actually a bug in ICU! I'll have to test later to see if this is fixed in ICU 59.1 and, if not, we can submit a bug report upstream.
