Unix is case sensitive, and we're emulating Unix as best we can. >If you want case insensitivity, use Microsoft's NMAKE, or feel free to >contribute a patch to make that lets the user select case >insensitivity *if* they need it. Is this a shell thing or a make thing? If it's a shell thing, one could always use bash as sh and enable the case-insensitivity option in bash... I agree with DJ. I have no problem with the default (only?;-)) mode of make being case-sensitive...
