Hi,

Is there a way to force FileMerge 2.0.4 (part of Xcode 1.5) to ignore
line endings (Mac / Unix / DOS) when comparing files ?

Thanks,

Patrick

I don't think there is. You might want to file a bug report with Apple
at <http://bugreport.apple.com/> to request this.

FileMerge only likes unix line endings. I filed a bug against this 31
months ago, and it was a duplicate... so I wouldn't hold your breath. :(
