weird behavior regarding case sensitivity of GNU make's $(wildcard) function

2010-07-06 Thread Robert Schiele
Hi! I found the following (in my optinion weird) behavior of the $(wildcard) function of GNU make when running on Cygwin: I have a place in a makefile that checks for existence of a file (let's call it "/cygdrive/c/path/to/file") with $(wildcard /cygdrive/c/path/to/file). Unfortunately the vendor
