You're right that there is no symlink in Axiom. But lndir creates one -- the manipulation above makes it possible to fake an out-of-source build, so that people don't have to blow away their checked-out tree after the build. They can build separately, and update separately. The only time there is an interference is when toplevel Makefile is regenerated during the build (culprit: the special rule to overwrite the toplevel Makefile). None of those issues are present with axiom.build-improvements. -- Gaby _______________________________________________ Axiom-developer mailing list Axiom-developer@nongnu.org http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/axiom-developer
