I'm trying to pass in a macro define to the command line to define  
the level of code being used.  Something like


gcc -o objname.o source.c -DFIXLVL=\"FEB 17 2006\"

the code does something like:

static const char mszFixLvl[] = " " __FILE__ " at " FIXLVL " on "  
__DATE__ " at " __TIME__ " ";



so the value of FIXLVL must have quotes at the time preprocessing  
begins and cannot have been stripped off by ant, cpptasks, or any  
other thing in between.


I'm using cpptasks 1.0b3, ant 1.6.5.

I've tried

<defineset><define name="FIXLVL" value="&quot;FEB 17 2006&quot;"/></ 
defineset>


and


<compilerarg value="-D"/><compilerarg value="FIXLVL=&quot;FEB 17  
2006&quot;"/>



I've even tried defining the fix level in a property, and then  using 
the property name in the defineset value, but it was too  smart for that.


How can I force this thing to listen to me?

Thanks,
Ben

    Try value="'FIXLVL=&quot;FEB 17 2006&quot;'"


That is - put single quotes immediately inside the outer double  quotes, 
to prevent the inner quotes from being stripped off by the  shell.

Thanks, but it told me it can't handle single quotes nested in double 
quotes.  FWIW, it's Windows using gcc under Cygwin.  Here's the output:
