I want to add the --with-headers parameter to gcc configure script. The directory I wish to add is /dev/env/DJDIR/lib/gcc-lib/h8300-hitachi-hms/2.952/include. I an trying to understand how the above terms are expanded by configure and the difference between the single quotes '' and the double quotes"". This looks like Perl but my Perl knowledge is very basic so any help would be appreciated. -- Ed Manlove emanlove AT eclipse DOT net
