Boost.Test is broken when cross-compiling for Windows on Linux using a case-sensitive file system because it #includes instead of

The correct header should be/is 'Windows.h', it's capitalized, MinGW has a similar problem, IIRC.

It's not capitalized in the 30 instances of '#include ' in Boost header files, including 3 from Boost.Test, and it's not capitalized on my file system. It's also not capitalized on the Wikipedia page, it's not /consistently/ capitalized by Microsoft themselves, and even Microsoft are switching to lower case where portability matters: see

https://github.com/Microsoft/WinObjC/commit/9e55e2a7cb67fe9a4b3fffb491f7eb62... .

I just took the way it appears in the documentation:

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/desktop/api/synchapi/nf-synchapi-cr...

I don't know why you refer to that page, but when you get to the business-end of that page, the "what to do bit", you find:

This is the function that was pulling Windows.h and that was causing this issue.

*Minimum supported client* Windows XP [desktop apps | UWP apps] *Minimum supported server* Windows Server 2003 [desktop apps | UWP apps] *Target Platform* Windows *Header* synchapi.h (include Windows.h) *Library* Kernel32.lib *DLL* Kernel32.dll

Exactly, and every reference to Windows.h is with W. AFAIR, it was always like this.
