Thank you for a prompt response.What you said sounded right so I aplied it.
I`m running win2K in a VmWare station on my debian machine and I had samba
server installed already for daily file transfers so I just used that.In 
order be able to read linux machine directories from Cygwin shell I had to 
make a directory a shared disk (/home/lucian/DOWNLOAD/kawa on linux became 
f: in win). I put the
kawa sources in there and tried configure/make again.Unfortunately the 
result was
the exactly same.And the filesystem seems to be case-sensitive :

Administrator@YELLOWIN /cygdrive/DOWNLOAD/kawa-1.6.99/test
$ls
Test.log test.log

Or did I missundertood you ?

Any other ideas ? Anybody ?

Sorry for beeing annoying.
