Because the stringify operator only works inside a #define?
By the way, I don't see why you can't just build this package like: ./configure CPPFLAGS="-D__STRING=#x" ..rest of configure options..
It wouldn't work. #define __STRING #x != #define __STRING(x) #x But I do agree with Eric. Anyway, if chosen to change the FAAC side of the fence, instead of: #ifdef __CYGWIN__ #define __STRING ... #endif It would be perhaps better to: #ifndef __STRING #define __STRING ... #endif Cheers, Pedro Alves -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
