Follow up information [Re: Case sensitivity in make.exe]

[Andrew Sweeney <andy at assured-digital dot com>]

Hi,

    I have more info on this problem that I am having with case
sensitivity while using the cygnus product.

    There seems to be some problem wiht case sensitivity when running
this product on NT.

    Example:

    I have a file LocateMgr.c

    Running ls on this file in the following ways doesn't produce the
same results. The problem is with wildcards and mixed case, see below.

    D:\ADI Software\CODE\HSE>ls LocateMgr.c
LocateMgr.c

D:\ADI Software\CODE\HSE>ls locatemgr.c
locatemgr.c

D:\ADI Software\CODE\HSE>ls *ocatemgr.c
ls: *ocatemgr.c: No such file or directory

D:\ADI Software\CODE\HSE>ls *ocateMgr.c
LocateMgr.c

D:\ADI Software\CODE\HSE>ls *ocate*gr.c
LocateMgr.c


Is there a way to disable the case sensitivity for the cygnus gnuwin32
product?

Thanks
Andy

How do I disable filename case sensitivity in make.

I have a problem where I use gcc -MM to generate dependencies. The
output is all lowercase and when I compile it doesn't find the correct
file.

I have a huge sorucetree so I can't rename every file. It will break
other developers.

example.

Locate.c

output of gcc-MM

loacte.o: ../src/locate.c ../inc/locate.h

gcc -o locate.o

Error: No such file locate.c

I am running on Window NT. Should this package work on win NT?

I you know the answer could you please email me. I took my name off the
list cause of the volume of mail generated.

thanks
Andy
