We have an existing makefile used with previous versions under Linux. Right now I am using the C51 v9.01 compiler under Windows XP. My problem is in using the -Dmacro=text command line option.
Previously, we used the option as
Code:
-Dmacro=\"text\"
which gave us something equivalent to
Code:
#define macro "text"
in the final code. However, now, using the same command line option, the result is equivalent to
Code:
#define macro text
Is it possible to escape quotation marks to get to the previous behavior?

It is possible - I have done this before, however I'm not in front of a windows machine at the moment. From memory I think you use single quotes around the double quotes. Backslash escaping is not needed. The windows command line is not great. An alternative is to install the cygwin package and then your existing makefiles etc.. will still work unchanged (or keep using the linux version of the compiler).

Strangely enough, using single quotes
Code:
-Dmacro='"text"'
gives the equivalent of
Code:
#define macro 'text'
So it removes the double quotes completely.
Any further ideas would be greatly appreciated.
I may switch back to the Linux version of the compiler, but I'd like to be able to compile this under Windows.
Thanks.

As lucky mentioned cygwin is quite helpful in this regard.
