You might find this old post helpful:

I tried these scripts a while back, also because of msm. I think that
this procedure has not been tested for quite a while (years) and is now
broken.

I recall trying both gcc and msvc for preprocessing, and failed to 
produce a usable header with either. IIRC with gcc resulting header
contained some gcc specific code and msvc choked on it. With msvc
resulting header contained some windows API declarations.

It is quite possible that I did something wrong - I found no
documentation on how to use these scripts.

Finally I gave up and used the kludge described in the post referenced
above. Meanwhile I managed to trim down the number of transitions in my
state machine and got back into vector50 bounds.
