i'm using git to pull a project from sourceforge to a windows box and to

no control over the project or the git repository it originates from...
FPC will look for each unit and include file (including directory names) in
lowercase, UPPERCASE and AsWritten (AFAIK even in that order)
maybe this is not the problem i'm facing, then... i'll have to dig deeper into
the build script... it is a very simple build script but there may be a bug in
it with an environment variable it sets for the library files...
i surely don't want to have to edit the sources to lowercase all the
uses and includes statements every time i update my local
repositories... how can i get it to compile on linux no matter what case
the names are? is there anything i can do on my side of the fence to
tell fpc to operate case insensitive? hopefully a simple command line
option i can easily add to my build script?
You can't tell FPC to operate in a totally case insensitive way, because then
the compiler would need to check for ANY possible spelling of the filename (plus
extension), because if an underlying filesystem is case sensitive then a.pas
would be different from A.PAS which would also be different from a.PAS as well
as A.pas and so on...
yes, i remember the discussion some time (several years?) back... i spent some
time rereading over it before making my post, too...
thank you to you and michael van canneyt for your responses...
