For a >= 2.2 system, options no longer go into -D statements in the Makefile, but into opt_foo.h files, hence the single quotes must not be there. (With the -D, they have been passed on to a shell by `make', hence the single quotes.) The double quotes are always required, to prevent config from interpreting the text behind ``options''. -- cheers, J"org joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ -- NIC: JW11-RIPE Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
