Looks like you messed up the sources with some kind of windows-world-
software and the unix-nls were substitued by windows-ones...and this is
why the compiler doesn't treat the multiline define right. So you have two
options:
1) convert the sourcefiles with a tool (dos2unix)
or
2) check where the conversion happened and stop it ;) (if you are using
something like WinZip there are options for that)
