#8 install problem

[Liu Tong]

I am using windowsXP and cygwin, the problem is that
when at the "Try It" stage (stage 4), after I type
$ ./configure; make
the program cannot be compiled properly, it shows on
the screen these stuffs:

make[1]: Entering directory `/brickos-0.2.6.10/util'
make[2]: Entering directory `/brickos-0.2.6.10/util/dll-

This seems to be because newer gcc's dropped support for
multiline string constants. I just stumbled in this myself and
patched it, then found out, that there is already a patch
around:

http://sourceforge.net/tracker/
index.php?func=detail&aid=796709&group_id=58151&atid=486699

.. that for some reason hasn't been patched into CVS yet.
Could any of the developers please have a look at the patch
list ?
