I'm trying to build libvnc, and I have run into this when building other
source code as well. For some reason cmake errors out when checking the
dependency of a symlinked file, after executing 'cmake --build .'. I'm not
sure I'm even describing that properly. It's best understood by looking at
the below. This is the relevant section of the build.make file.

libvncclient.so.0.9.12: CMakeFiles/vncclient.dir/link.txt
@$(CMAKE_COMMAND) -E cmake_echo_color --switch=$(COLOR) --green --bold
--progress-dir=/home/bsferrazza/lfs/sources/libvncserver/build/CMakeFiles
--progress-num=$(CMAKE_PROGRESS_10) "Linking C shared library
libvncclient.so"
$(CMAKE_COMMAND) -E cmake_link_script CMakeFiles/vncclient.dir/link.txt
--verbose=$(VERBOSE)
$(CMAKE_COMMAND) -E cmake_symlink_library libvncclient.so.0.9.12
libvncclient.so.1 libvncclient.so

libvncclient.so.1: libvncclient.so.0.9.12
@$(CMAKE_COMMAND) -E touch_nocreate libvncclient.so.1

libvncclient.so: libvncclient.so.0.9.12
@$(CMAKE_COMMAND) -E touch_nocreate libvncclient.so

And here's the terminal output.

You can see it run the ' cmake -E cmake_symlink_library
libvncclient.so.0.9.12' command and yet it errors out on libvncclient.so.
Oddly, if I then run that same command in the shell, and re-run 'cmake
--build .' it continues just fine. So why was that command not properly
executed within the cmake file?

Thanks,
Ben
