Thanks Preston. I removed the double quotes, and that's better, now I
still get a Make error, but it's further down the line, about the code
itself not the Make file.

I tried:

const char compile_date[12] PROGMEM = MY_DATE ;

but this yields :

ui.c:43: error: ‘MY_DATE’ undeclared here (not in a function)


Undeclared ? Strange, mmmpff....
