Invalid compiler error

[Tron Thomas]

I'm sorry.  I misread what you wrote.  I thought you were suggesting 
that I try the #elif directive in simple coding example to see if the 
compiler would accept it.  This is was I used:

#include <iostream>
int main()
{
    using std::cout;

#if FOO
    cout << "Foo\n";

#elif BAR
    cout << "Bar\n"
#endif

    return 0;
}

This program compiles just fine, and if I define the proper value, it 
print the expected text.  So it looks like the #elif directive, in 
general, is compatable with the Cygwin compiler.  It doesn't explain why 
the error message still occurs.  I suppose I could try changing the code 
to what you actually suggested and see if that works.
