Hi Subbu,
When I messed with the awk script to find the line break problem I apparently commented out the following line
FS=" ";
and commented in the line
# FS="[ :]+";
which explains why $NF did not work anymore. Sorry for the noise...
Cheers, Adrian

The second issue was that the gawk output didn't compile because the jump table macros were all like "CASE(0)", i.e., the argument was not incremented. In cmake/gnuify.awk I commented out the line print " CASE(" (($NF) + 0) ")"; and commented in the line print " CASE(" $3 ")";
$NF is an awk idiom for the last word in input line. The code works if input source has lines like: case 255: But if there are intervening comment words or spaces between number and colon, then the code will break. E.g. case /*RETURN*/ 254 :
What did the input line look like in this case?
