hi emacs:
When compile emacs under windows, i want to specify some gcc flags like this:
==============================================================
call configure.bat --cflags -DSITELOAD_PURESIZE_EXTRA=10000
==============================================================
But under windows os,the "=" is treated as white space when passed to batch arguments.
So I have to modify this gcc definition in emacs's source tree which is not my pleasure.
Why not give user an extra variable when compile emacs under windows?
For example, named as "LOCAL_FLAGS_WIN",
so i could set this before call configure.bat like this
==============================================================
set LOCAL_FLAGS_WIN=-DSITELOAD_PURESIZE_EXTRA=10000
call configure.bat
==============================================================
and nt/makefile in emacs source tree is modified to support this variable.
==============================================================
CFLAGS = -I. $(ARCH_CFLAGS) $(DEBUG_CFLAGS) $(CHECKING_CFLAGS) $(PROFILE_CFLAGS) $(USER_CFLAGS) $(LOCAL_FLAGS) $(LOCAL_FLAGS_WIN)
==============================================================
best regards.

I think the proper fix would be finding a way to pass arguments
containing "=" to configure.bat. That might prove difficult, though,
at least with command.com.

parse "=" in dos batch script is very difficult,
because dos batch has poor native string process commands as i could see.
I think the easy fix would be writing an extra console commands parsing command line
or give user an extra variable to set the cflags as i have mentioned.
Best regards.

With Ben Key's 2011-04-15 to trunk, the "=" character is supported in
configure.bat, so this should now be unnecessary, I believe.
