Third party library (C++ source and headers) has a file called "Signal.h". XCode confuses the project relative Signal.h with the system's signal.h. Other system headers end up including the local.


I recently read somewhere (I wonder where?!) that there is a switch which allows a drive to be formatted as case-sensitive HFS+. I know there were reasons NOT to install OS X on a UFS drive/partition. Is there any reason not to use case-sensitive HFS+? I didn't enable journaling until it was "officially" supported, but it seems I could have done so with little danger. I'm wondering if this is similar? every once in a while case-insensitivity causes me unnecessary grief and wasted time.



I made a case sensitive volume (it's a standard option when installing the OS - look at the drop down there). I was happy.


I then did the standard (for us) thing to make my home directory FileVault. It complained that it couldn't because it wasn't an HFS+ filesystem. I was sad.

I filed a bug saying that FileVault was being too picky (it *was* HFS+, it just was case sensitive). Apple closed it out as "expected behavior". I was annoyed.

So I don't use case sensitive filesystems.

sigh.
