Joshua Rosen" To: cygwin Content-Type: text/plain Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Date: 24 Apr 2002 21:25:22 -0400 Message-Id: <1019697922.11719.171.camel@saratoga> Mime-Version: 1.0 I'm in the process of porting my CAE tool (hdlmaker) to Cygwin and I've run into a problem with case sensitivity, or to be precise the lack of case sensitivity in the file system. I have a number of files that are paired as upper and lower case versions, i.e. FD.v and fd.v. In the Unix world this is no problem but in the Cygwin environment the files conflict. I noticed the problem when doing a CVS checkout. I'm aware that NTFS is not case sensitive, does Cygwin provide a layer that provides case sensitivity or do I have to go through the huge effort of converting my library to make it case independent. -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Bug reporting: http://cygwin.com/bugs.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
