That's a good question. In Vista, the answer is symbolic links: http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/fileio/fs/symbolic_links.asp Before Vista, there's no solution short of "cp". However, you still have the --sysroot command-line option. And, if you're worried about Windows, see Paul's response; the problems I've described are particularly bad on Windows, and the developer-base there is often less used to GNU software, so the problems are even weirder. -- Mark Mitchell CodeSourcery [EMAIL PROTECTED] (650) 331-3385 x713
