Re: case sensitivity in patterns

Hi,

Yes (for better or worse) I'm on Windows.  I got make from the gnuwin32 
binary download from Sourceforge.

This is the output from make --version:

---

I looked around for a binary with the HAVE_CASE_INSENSITIVE_FS flag, but 
didn't see one.  I also see on the GNU pages that there is a Windows 
specific list, address@hidden  I'll also send a message to it.

So if nothing else, I can get the source and compile it with the flag set? 
(Use make to make make made for Windows? :) )

Thanks
James
