[GRASSLIST:5411] RE: v.in.dgn compile with error

It's there -- kind of.

In gdal-1.1.8.tar.gz 

see the following files within the tar structure:

gdal-1.1.8\html\cpl_config_h-source.html   <-instructions
gdal-1.1.8\port\cpl_config.h.in
gdal-1.1.8\port\cpl_config.h.vc
gdal-1.1.8\ogr\ogrsf_frmts\dgn\readme   <- more instructions

 Building
 --------

 This is a preliminary source distribution, and I have not gone to any
 pains to make it easy to configure and build.  To build please do the 
 following:

 1. Update cpl_config.h to represent your platform accurately.  Generally all
 that matters is to #define WORDS_BIGENDIAN on big endian platforms.  The
 rest can likely be ignored.

evidently it gets created in the configure process when you build
DNGLIB?
