Unless there is some input how to create a "simple" patch file which works on both *nix and non-*nix systems, also with the EOLs sorted out, I'll stop this very time consuming and frustrating subproject after spending too many hours on it without any advance.
Problems: - If I create .dif on win, *nixes cannot process it - If I create .dif on *nix, .dif EOLs will be inconsistent, SVN complains - If I create .dif on *nix for LF converted sources, win cannot process it Brgds, Viktor On Wed, Jun 10, 2009 at 8:09 AM, Viktor Szakáts<harbour...@syenar.hu> wrote: > Okay. > > Is there a simple cmdline to convert filenames to lowercase, > which works on most *nix systems? > > If there is I'd like to include it in readme.txt. > > Brgds, > Viktor > > On Wed, Jun 10, 2009 at 2:24 AM, Przemyslaw Czerpak<dru...@acn.waw.pl> wrote: >> On Wed, 10 Jun 2009, Szak�ts Viktor wrote: >>> I know, one of the major points of this patch is to >>> make DBU code use lower case names.
