Yes: don't put software in paths with spaces or other shell-special 
characters. I've been fighting this problem while working on Qt for 18 years. I 
don't expect the next 18 will solve this.

Qt is using CMake and it's CMake that has a hardcoded search on Program Files. 
So use the same solution.

I highly recommend you just use MSYS2 and install all dependencies for Qt 
using pacman. This would remove all the heartache about Strawberry Perl, 
PostgreSQL, OpenSSL, MySQL, LLVM, compiler versions. It's one command to 
install them all and to later update them.

And if you just want to run qdoc... I believe MSYS2 has a version pre-built 
for you too.
