Preprocessor problem

Hi,

I need to compile C code for QNX that has multiline #define statements, such
has:

#define someStatement
someCode on other line
someCode on other line \

But neither qcc or QCC accept this syntax, which is part of ansi. How can I
compile code in QNX with multiline defines? Is there some other character
than \ that I must use instead, or some preprocessor options to enable this?

Thanks

Bernard

I’ve had this happen if the file is in DOS format, use the textto utility to convert
it to Unix/QNX4 format.

As well, make sure there are no spaces after the ‘’
