Dear Cygwin Team, on my cygwin installation I have problems with case sensitivity although I did everything described here: https://cygwin.com/cygwin-ug-net/using-specialnames.html#pathnames-casesens=
I really need case sentitivity since I would like to use OpenFOAM (c++ cfd library) inside cygwin and OpenFOAM has a bunch of files like scalar.H and Scalar.H. The minimal example for my problem is: >mkdir test1 >touch test1/file.txt >touch test1/File.txt This gives me test1 |-- file.txt |-- File.txt This means touch is somehow case sensitive but >cp -r test1 test2 fails with the message: >cp: cannot create regular file /test2/file.txt: File exists I also saw the latest thread on this topic: https://sourceware.org/ml/cygwin/2016-10/msg00231.html My questions are: 1.a) Is the mentioned patch in the letest thread already contained in cygwin 2.6.0 (this is the cygwin.dll version according to cygcheck -s on my computer)? 1.b) If not, where do get this patch from? 2.) Are there any further tricks and tips concerning my problem?
