Sorry that I cannot send my project source. One point to add, the target
with
a .h file define in Prefix file is cloned from a target without the .h file.
So there
are two targets, the new target with .h file defined in Prefix file field,
the old
target with the Prefix file field empty.
It is really strange. As there is a macro definition conflict (which means
the
compiler can 'see' the #define in .h file). And the code segment inside
#ifdef /
#endif will take effect if the #define line is moved from the .h Prefix file
to the
source .c file itself!
Thanks

A simple test here seems to work for me. Can you send me your project to
take a
look at? FYI, my example was based off the Palm OS 3.5 stationery, but with
the
precompiled header file removed.
