A quick test gave me "warning: `...´ redefined" So I guess your best bet is to comment out the defines (well knowing it _will not_ compile anymore w/o defining the values on command line) and passing '-D' arguments to the compiler. E.g.: -DMYSQL_UPDATE_SERVER=\"localhost\" \ -DMYSQL_UPDATE_USER=\"vpopmail\" \ -DMYSQL_UPDATE_PASSWD=\"bla\" and so on. The important part is escaping the quotes with '\'. Else they'll be interpreted _before_ defining the value as "delimiter to avoid argument splitting by e.g. space characters". The '\' tells the compiler they're not surrounding the value, but they're part of the value. HTH -- Best regards Peter Palmreuther Features should be discovered, not documented.
