Thank you for replying.
I filed https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?23647 to keep track of this
problem.
I wonder why you did not finish the *rest* of the quoted material
you snipped above:
>> The HFS+ build volume is “case sensitive”, as is the boot
volume (where we’ll install everything). <<
I know full well how to create a case-sensitive HFS+ volume, and by
all indications that Apple provides here, both volumes are exactly
as I stated here.
Furthermore, you should know out-of-the-box Macs have case-
INsensitive formatting, and it is terribly difficult to change
that. Therefore, you need to factor this into your makefiles etc.
as other projects do.
I am at a complete loss now how to proceed. I say again
reiteratingly, bluntfully, & forcefully, that my volumes *are*
SENSITIVE to casing, as far as Apple's tools are able to indicate
here.
Thank you for any help in this matter. But let's direct it to the
bug-report so we can better keep track of things. All I want to do
is improve your software. AFAICT only the 'id' exe is affected.
Thanks again.
