Is it safe to use the create_symlink function from boost::filesystems?
Are there platforms on which we want LyX to run that don't handle symlinks?
You mean Windows?
Except Vista, as I've learned. I had thought Windows did do symlinks but
not hard links, but apparently only by cheating.
Windows can do something similar to symlinks, but only linking to a
directory - not to a file. Some special software is needed to create these
from the command line.
I don't remember what these are called at the moment, but if you're
interested I can find out.
