Hello, Ordinarily, I would search the archives, but they seem to be down at the moment. I am having some problems with Microsoft's Visual C++ 6.0 with a Samba server running on an SGI IRIX machine. The problem: The UNIX directory structure on our IRIX machine contains mixed case names. (say /usr/PROJECT/Build) I've noticed that DevStudio changes the directory name to all lower case during project creation. No amount of tweaking the smb.conf could get around this so I decided to try putting the DevStudio project files on our Novell server, but keep the source on IRIX. That seemed to work until I tried accessing the files in the project. Alas, DevStudio now decides to make all the directory names UPPER case! My attempts at resolving the problem: As above, having the non- essential files on Novell was unsuccessful. Placing a symlinks to try to resolve the case issues (ie. /usr/project -> /usr/PROJECT, /usr/PROJECT/build -> /usr/PROJECT/Build) This worked to a certain extent except when I tried creating the project again. DevStudio can create one of it's files, but refuses to create anymore (it complains of permission problems which clearly isn't the case since it just created a file!) I've tried setting 'preserve case = true' with 'short preserve case = true' along with 'case sensitive = true' and most combinations thereof. My question: Has anybody had this problem? Can it be fixed? (aside from fixing the DevStudio or Windows source tree ;-) Is there some sort of workaround? The pertinent details are as follows (I'm not posting my smb.conf unless someone feels it's necessary): Server - SGI Onyx2 running IRIX 6.5.5 Samba 2.0.5a Client - Windows NT with Service Pack 5 Visual C++ 6.0 Pro Many thanks in advance for any help, Nathan ====================================================Nathan Silver, Simulation Software Developer Computing Devices Canada Vetronics Systems - Advanced Land Fire Control System nathan.silver@cdott.com
