Re: The case insensitive #include statement horror...

Stephan,

One more thought... sort of in jest, but ...

Maybe you could force your Windows programs to compile all the programs on
the Unix system a few times so they can live through the pain. Or, have
them cross compile their code when they add new include files. I know this
is not automatic by any means, but maybe if they feel the Unix programmer's
pain they will be more careful to type in the correct names.

"Challenging"... indeed. ;-)

I don't know if this is useful to you or not, but have you seen the
MainWin toolkit?

Thanks, that is an interesting article, but it has no solution for me.
Renaming all files to lower case can not be done, since we have rules
about
upper/lower case naming of files.
