More generally, GNU Make is used with many projects that came from the Posix world, and therefore expect case-sensitive filesystems. Therefore, Make internals assume such a system in too many places, and you need to fix them all before you'll have a truly case-insensitive build of Make that won't trip on problems such as the one above. _______________________________________________ Make-w32 mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/make-w32
