Subject: [gentoo-dev] dosym
Date: Sat, 14 Aug 2004 16:01:19 -0400 (EDT)	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <Pine.LNX.4.60.0408141533390.24689@strider> (raw)

I'm trying to create symlinks in an ebuild using dosym but an having some 
problems.  I do the following:

dosym /usr/xyz/file /usr/abc/file

or

dosym ${D}/usr/xyz/file /usr/abc/file

but all I get in /usr/abc is a broken symlink.

The directory /usr/xyz has file in it and /usr/abc has file -> 
/usr/xyz/file but ls shows a flashing red broken symlink and if I go to
/usr/abc and do ./file it says no such file or directory.

Looking at dosym all it does is ln -snf Target ${D}/link

What am I missing here?

Thanks.
