That is the normal way of doing things, and should work fine. At least that is how most of my commercial software was been written (work shared with ex-Delphi developers that like CaMel case in uses clauses). > 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? I don't believe ext2/3/4 has a case-insensitive option. If you use JFS (used to be my preferred file system under Linux - originally developed by IBM), there is a case-insensitive option at the time you create the file system. The best file system (in my opinion) is to use ZFS. It comes standard with FreeBSD, and Linux now has good support for ZFS too, but it must be user installed, due to incompatible licensing. As with all the awesome features included with ZFS, you can set case sensitivity whenever you need on whatever "partition" you create. NOTE: ZFS "partitions" are nothing like traditional file systems. You can create and destroy them at will (almost like directories).
