Hmmm. I don't like the idea of being system specific. Is it really
necessary?
If I remember correctly:
- any Unix system (linux, *bsd, solaris, MacOS X with UFS,...): case
sensitive path and filename
- MacOS X with HFS: no distinction between lower/uppercase, case
sensitive path
=> no distinct file with filenames different only on lower/upper
case
- Windows: no distinction between lower/uppercase, case insensitive
path
=> as previous MacOS X case
So for me, we have the following requirements:
1. each source file should have a distinct filename if converted to
lowercase;
2. the build process should not modify lower/uppercase of paths.
With those requirements, I think we could build Axiom on any current
system. You opinion?
Yours,
d.
