I wanted to attempt to build BIRD under MacOS X, but already at unpacking I ran into the following tcsh> tar zxf bird-1.3.1.tar.gz tar: Cannot rename bird-1.3.1/Doc.naNlkt to bird-1.3.1/Doc (Is a directory) tcsh> ... which stems from the fact that the source tree contains both a "Doc/" subdirectory and a "doc/" directory, tcsh> tar ztf bird-1.3.1.tar.gz | egrep -i 'bird-1.3.1/doc$' bird-1.3.1/doc bird-1.3.1/Doc tcsh> which of course works just fine in most *nix file systems, since they traditionally are case sensitive. However, HFS(+) on the Mac can be installed either as case sensitive or as case INsensitive, with the latter being the default. (No, I don't advocate this! I just note that as a fact.) The result is of course a name clash on most Mac systems. Is there any change that you can change one of the names to avoid the clash in future releases? Cheers, /Liman PS. I realise there is more work to make this compile on a Mac, but I have to start somewhere ... ;-) #---------------------------------------------------------------------- # Lars-Johan Liman, M.Sc. !
