RE: Epics base 7.0.2 Windows MSVC odd case change

[Mark Rivers via Tech-talk <tech-talk@aps.anl.gov>]

The problem is not happening for me.  

I am using make 4.2.1 from the EPICS page link here:
https://epics.anl.gov/base/win32.php

This is the print.d I just created when building with Visual Studio 2017.

Which version of Make are you using?

In fact a makefile troubleshooting target was added PRINT.% which prints the value of a make variable.  eg. PRINT.CPPFLAGS

This shouldn't cause problems as to my knowledge GNU make target names are always case sensitive.

Microsoft Visual Studio 2012 (windows 7) and 2017 (windows 10) and it stalled on building the pvData json module print.cpp.

created with all references to print being upper case, i.e. PRINT, so print.cpp never actually gets compiled, so the library does not have all the elements that it needs to build.

to use that file name - everything works. As it does if I edit the print.d file and flip the upper case PRINT back to lower case print.

aware of a solution, but I was wondering if any of the build system expects might know why "print" on at least 2 of my build systems is now being treated  differently. Works as expected on linux.
