\ problems with 3.2.2

[KaylaKaze]

I'm using the precompiled ee-gcc 3.2.2 cygwin compiler and have been working with ps2ftpd. The problem I'm having though is the compiler doesn't recognize \ at the end of a line to mean "continued on next line". Any ideas how to fix this without having to change the code or use a different compiler?

Are you talking about "warning: multi-line string literals are deprecated" ?
if so, then no there is nothing that will be changed in the compiler to allow this.
its a change that has been made in gcc ( from what I remember since 3.0 ).
And thats a fact we have to live with.

It's also possible the source files are dos formatted and the compiler is expecting unix formatted files, I've had this happen a few times to me.

If you don't know, the difference is that dos text files use CR LF for end of lines while unix text files only use LF.

if it's the case , a simple dos2unix on the file must do the job !
