You can't, because the C language never supported initialized variable
definitions in header files. That's simply incorrect code you have
there. In a header file, only declarations of variables (with the
'extern' keyword in front of them, and no initialization) have a right
to live. Definitions, with or without initializers, belong into the .c
source file, instead.

It most certainly isn't important for the program. If at all, it may
seem important, because of your current way of writing it.
