I've included some headers now and i get a parser error everywhere where i've used line concatenation in a define.

It compiles fine with VC++ but not with gcc. I know that this looks like a newbie question, but i really don't understand why i get a parse error.

Code:

---

#define x \
10

---

#define xxxxx \
blah

warning: blah declared as function returning a function

Ok, i've checked some other code for the empeg in the hex editor and my code, my code has a 0x0D 0x0A as a newline while the other had just a 0x0A.

After i've removed the 0x0D the file compiles.

Seems like i have a problem now

Just get a dos2unix program. I know UltraEdit32 has it built in.

Windows uses \r\n for EOLs and Unix uses just \n. The fact that you're editing Unix text files with a Windows text editor is 100% the problem. You can fix them after the fact with the nearly ubiquitous dos2unix command.

Here is a plug in for the Visual Studio that allows to set the end of line: http://www.codeguru.com/Cpp/V-S/devstudio_macros/textoperations/article.php/c3161/
