Hi jp, If you are using MYPATH as a string in your source code, you may want to put double-quotes around it in the define in the makefile. -DMYPATH='"/usr/local/thepath"' Note that the single-quotes are chomped by the shell that the make spawns to launch the compiler. Another solution is to string-ize the MYPATH macro variable in your code via: #define STR_2(x) #x #define STR(x) STR_2(x) STR(MYPATH) The helper macro function STR_2 is necessary so the STR x parm gets expanded. Otherwise you'd end up with "MYPATH" instead of the expansion of MYPATH into /usr/local/thepath that you are hoping for, which STR_2 then stringifies. You may want to do this instead for STR_2... #define STR_2(x) L ## #x ...if you need to work with wchar_t strings instead. HTH, --Eljay
