In the MSVC section of the Makefile, BASIC_CFLAGS is set to a value which contains the string "-DWIN32-D_CONSOLE". This results in a (single) malformed -Define being passed to the compiler. At least on my cygwin installation, the msvc compiler seems to ignore this parameter, without issuing an error or warning, and results in the WIN32 and _CONSOLE macros being undefined. This breaks the build. In order to fix the build, we simply insert a space between the two -Define parameters, "-DWIN32" and "-D_CONSOLE", as originally intended. Signed-off-by: Ramsay Jones <ramsay@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> --- Hi *, The original version of this patch used line-continuation to wrap the over-long lines in the MSVC section. (the lines that set up BASIC_CFLAGS, COMPAT_CFLAGS and BASIC_LDFLAGS.) However, that somewhat obscured the important change in this patch (and some people don't find line-continuation easier to read anyway ;-).
