Hi Earnie, it does work fine with B20 (just tried it). It does not work in
the latest cygwin version only when using a variable ($SOURCE). When the
command is specified directly in the shell script, it works fine.
i.e.
#!/bin/sh
SOURCE="-DPARAM=\"This String\" file.cpp"
icl $SOURCE # This line doesn't
work.
icl -DPARAM="This String" file.cpp # This line works fine.
I tried your suggestion of adding double quotes but it does not make a
difference, the space is still a problem. Oh well, back to B20 I guess,
bummer. If you find out something related to this problem, please let me
know.
Thanks for your help.
Gerard

I would be really surprised if this worked in B20. It's always been a
problem.

Try:
SOURCE="-DPARAM=\"\"\"Stringfirstpart Stringsecondpart\"\"\" file.cpp"
icl $SOURCE
You might also try quoting the space.
