Hi, This is a Unix C question. But since I am doing something that ultimately results in a Zope product, I might as well ask the question here. :) I am trying to build a third-party utility in Linux. I ran into troubles in the compilation process because of the usage of backslash \ as line continuation. (This is used in #def preprocessor macro statements.) When I remove the backslashes and join the lines, it compiles fine. (I know backslashes are fine in Windows Visual C++.) Does anyone know any other better solution than go into the code and explicitly remove the backslashes? Is there any gcc option that recognizes backslashes are line-joining characters? Or is there another character used in gcc for joining lines? Any other suggestions? regards, Hung Jung _________________________________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com.
