[Devel] Problem with backslash

[Mike Owens]

I'm new to the GNU/Unix world and have encountered a little quirk. When a line 
continuation character followed by CrLf is encountered by the gcc compiler, it 
posts and error on the data following the back slash. 
Example

#define something (x*y) \
+ abc

When I change the \CrLf to a \Lf, it's ok. I'm guessing this is a unix verses 
dos type difference. All of the freetype files that I have use the \CrLf 
version. Does someone know of a switch that will tell gcc what's going on or is 
there a unix version that I can download so that I don't have to modify all of 
the files?
Thanks
