Hi,
Yes (for better or worse) I'm on Windows. I got make from the gnuwin32
binary download from Sourceforge.
This is the output from make --version:

I looked around for a binary with the HAVE_CASE_INSENSITIVE_FS flag, but
didn't see one. I also see on the GNU pages that there is a Windows
specific list, [email protected]. I'll also send a message to it.
So if nothing else, I can get the source and compile it with the flag set?
(Use make to make make made for Windows? :) )
Thanks
James

Are you running on Windows? If so then you'll have to describe how you
compiled your version of GNU make, because normally (IIRC) it is
case-insensitive.
For POSIX-based systems, obviously, make is not case-insensitive. If
you recompile it with the HAVE_CASE_INSENSITIVE_FS option set in
config.h then it might work: I'm not sure if this has been tested on
non-Windows systems.
