Did you read the section of the Cygwin User Guide that I cited? If Cygwin uses underlying NT... OS calls for all operations, it should be case-sensitive, but any underlying Win... subsystem calls will be case-insensitive, and YMMV, just as if you used a native Windows command. Maybe stat the file and strace that or the failing ls command above to see what's happening. -- Take care.

Re: case sensitivity bug?
Greetings, Ken Brown! > I've set up my Cygwin installation to be case sensitive, following the > instructions at > https://cygwin.com/cygwin-ug-net/using-specialnames.html#pathnames-casesensitive That instruction is outdated. Modern OS have per-volume case sensitivity settings, and this is a default configuration IIRC. Get yourself a VM and configure one tome for case sensitivity, then install Cygwin there. -- With best regards, Andrey Repin Wednesday, September 21, 2016 11:36:27 Sorry for my terrible english... -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
