I'm not sure what you mean by "a configure switch". As far as I know (and I'm no expert since I don't build/use the Windows port) you don't run configure (which is a POSIX shell script) on Windows; instead you rename the appropriate config.h* file. So, a configure switch wouldn't help.
I'm building from the mingw patched version of make, and I'm building it in Cygwin (obviously a POSIX environment), using GCC. I'm not building using MS's compilers as recommended in that particular README. So, in this case, having a configure switch would be helpful, for example: ----------------------------------------------- CC="gcc -mno-cygwin" ../$archivedir/configure \ --prefix=$installdir \ --host=mingw32 \ --build=mingw32 \ --with-case-insensitive-fs 2>&1 | tee make-configure.log
make all install 2>&1 | tee make-make.log -----------------------------------------------
And the "--with-case-insensitive-fs" switch would automatically #define HAVE_CASE_INSENSITIVE_FS in config.h.
What does ``./configure --help'' show? The MinGW patched set has a switch similar to that.
Yep. There it is. The slightly wordy: --enable-case-insensitive-file-system. Thanks for pointing this out.
My mistake was assuming that the MinGW version of make would've defaulted to having this enabled on configure for a mingw host, not disabled.
Thanks again, Eric
