Imakefile problem

Imakefile problem

[Bobák Csaba]

Hello all,

(It's a bit off-topic, I just don't know where to ask, sorry)
  I'm building a large-scaled UNIX application on cygwin-b20, no
snapshots. I have problems with Imakefiles that contain a line like
#define DEF2=\"$(DEF1)\"
  Imake complains about unterminated character strings (and some errors
caused by that, like unfinished #ifdef).
  Would anyone give me a hand? Thank you.

Csaba

Make sure that there are no CR (carriage returns) in the file.

Also, make sure you have MAKE_MODE=unix set in your
environment.  That should take care of it.

Pretty much.  I built the GRASS5 system which had hundreds of
Imakefiles.   When there were cases of long lines that had the
backslash '\' in them to continue on the next line, the Carriage
Returns always caused the problem.   I wrote a simple C program
(yes I could have used tr) to remove CR's from the end of lines.
It always fixed the problem.

Are you sure?  It appears to be a quoting problem to me.  Is the version of
imake that Bobák is using a Cygwin or Non-Cygwin program.  If it Non-Cygwin
then it is definately a quoting problem and the fix would be to add two more
\"\" to the Makefile.
