The "problem" turns out to sort of obvious -- it's because this string gets passed thru the shell *twice* (once to apxs and then from apxs to gcc). So what works is: apxs -c -D mydef=\\\\"$SOME_ENV_VAR\\\\" Which leaves a set of escaped double quotes after the first pass for the second pass... -- "Enthusiasm is not the enemy of the intellect."
