There are still some places in IronRuby that depends on case  
insensitive file system.

1. :compile\_testhost task generates IronRubyTestHost.exe, but  
:test\_compiler task runs ironrubytesthost.exe.
2. test\_\*.rb requires util/simple\_test.rb, but SVN has Util directory  
instead.
3. mspec.rb requires builtin/string, etc, but SVN has Builtin/String  
directory instead.

test\_dir.rb tries to chdir to C:/… I can comment it out for the time  
being.

Thanks for ferreting out these bugs and sending in the Mono patch, Seo!

I need to fix the Rakefile yet again, to deal with the missing  
specs.targets file but I’m running low on cycles getting ready for  
RubyConf in a few days. We really wanted to build IronRuby on Mono but  
Miguel’s recommending that we punt on the build side of things and just  
run our assemblies directly on Mono for the time being. It looks like  
the compiler’s in not so great shape regression wise as they add LINQ  
support.

So there might be a bit of delay getting these changes into SVN, but  
they will get in.

Thanks!
