I plan to limit my comments on the issue to be this one reply.

Not true, see later below.

Also, earlier in your text there are 2 other " not found in " messages for other files. Showing
partial paths:

. . ./sdm845pkg/library/platformbootmanagerlib/platformbm.h not found in . . .
. . ./embeddedpkg/application/androidfastboot/androidfastbootapp.h not found in . . .

Also, none of the " not found in " messages in your text reference a *.c file, unlike what you
wrote.

Your picture shows some actual directory and file names (I show some /'s for context as well).
I list the actual from the picture first in each line of the block of lines below. Shown in
the picture's actual directory and file names are:

/sdm845Pkg/    not the /smd845pkg/    shown in some of your paths in the text
/sdm845Dxe/    not the /smd845dxe/    shown in some of your paths in the text
/sdm845Dxe.h   not the /sdm845dxe.h   shown in some of your paths in the text
/sdm845Dxe.inf not the /sdm845dxe.inf shown in some of your paths in the text

The original build environment may have been set up for and used a case
insensitive file system but you are apparently using a case sensitive file
system.

If so, you may have a lot of renaming to do if you are to continue using
a case sensitive file system. It is not just one "bug" as far as I can tell.

I'll note that the (partially shown) path:

. . ./sdm845pkg/library/platformbootmanagerlib/platformbm.h

is an example of not using the /sdm845Pkg/ in the directory path shown in your
picture that shows actual directory and file names.

It appears that I've met the "but if you find more problems" criteria.

Again: I do not plan on any more replies for the subject.
