How to represent a Makefile variable in CB

[Pecan]

I have a makefile with the following line:

pkgdatadir = $(datadir)/cgdb

and a C file with the following line:

fs_util_get_path (PKGDATADIR, "cgdb.txt", cgdb_help_file);

This compiles with the Makefile, but not in CB when I try to enter it in compile defines as PKGDATADIR=/home/pecan

How do you do this?

Code

-------------- Build: cgdb in cgdb ---------------
gcc-4.0 -Wall -g -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -DPKGDATADIR=/home/pecan/proj/cgdb/ -DPKGLIBDIR=/home/pecan/proj/cgdb/ -DPKGINCLUDEDIR=/home/pecan/proj/cgdb/ -Wall -g  -Icgdb/lib/kui/inc -Ivarious/adt/include -Ivarious/util/include -I/home/pecan/proj/cgdb -Icgdb/include -Ivarious/rline/include -Icgdb/include -Icgdb/tokenizer/include -Itgdb/tgdb-base/include -I/usr/include  -c /home/pecan/proj/cgdb/cgdb/src/interface.c -o .obj/cgdb/src/interface.o
/home/pecan/proj/cgdb/cgdb/src/interface.c: In function 'if_display_help':

Try PKGDATADIR="\"/home/pecan/proj/cgdb/\"".

Try PKGDATADIR="\"/home/pecan/proj/cgdb/\"".

Thanks, I tried it, but this must be some sort of gcc-4.0 error. It should work, but doesn't.
Thanks for the suggestion.

I don't think I want to battle this any more.
I'll just hard code it and move on to understanding how pseudo-terminals work.

I'm not planning on living with this code anyway. I just want to port the concept to CB. But it does tell me, in future, not to do such a thing in a CB project.
