Cameron Barfield (UNITED STATES)
Message: 50479 I'd noticed a fellow user was using OS X for development. I'd tried to set up my Mac at home for development but was unable to overcome some problems with subversion and OS X's HFS case-insensitive file system.
I queried Nooney and here is how he overcame the problem:
To get around the case-insensitive issue I have installed an external USB hard drive and then used the disk utility app to format it in a unix file system.
I was hesitant to post the question because I didn't want to spam the forum, but decided to create the thread at Nooney's insistence.

Message: 50483 there are no plans to support case-insensitive file systems now or ever with the build system. the way you overcome this on OS X is to use case-sensitive filesystems. you can create a dedicated partition, or an image, or an external hard drive, or ...
there is a document in our wiki:

Message: 50485 It would make about as much sense to support case-insensitive file systems as it does for Apple to be using a case-insensitive file system with a BSD kernel.
I notice that the wiki page is a bit outdated. I don't imagine the patch referenced there would work with the new toolchain. If I were to develop on OS X, would I be stuck with an outdated toolchain? I only ask because my Mac is significantly faster than my Linux box at home.

Message: 50489 You mean your wiki doesn't automatically cause my browser to refresh if you update a page while I'm reading it?
