It appears that macros which correspond to predefined env vars are case sensititive in smake. Eg the following trivial makefile.
(I am using 8.31 (cd) on W2k sp3)
--
all:	
	REM UPPER case macro expands to $(WXINC1)
	REM MiXed case macro expands to $(WxInC1)
	REM lower case macro expands to $(wxinc1)
--

produces the following output on my system
--
        REM UPPER case macro expands to F:\wx2\include;F:\wx2\contrib\include
        REM MiXed case macro expands to
        REM lower case macro expands to
--
WXINC1 is a predefined environmental var.

This is not a problem in itself, but I have tried using env var macros in the IDDE to specify include directories. The IDDE converts & stores my macro names in lowercase & then the make fails because the macro does not expand correctly.

Sounds like a bug in the IDDE. I'll log it. Thanks, -Walter
