But that's my problem -- Win XP appears to be case sensitive, at
least sometimes.
For instance, under Win 98 I had a makefile called MAKEFILE. make
found it with no trouble, though it was looking for makefile (lower
case).
But under Win XP, if I did
make /f makefile
the makefile as not found, but if I did
make /f MAKEFILE
it was found. I ended up doing
ren MAKEFILE makefile
and then a simple
make again found the makefile.
