Summary: Symlinks unsupported by some filesystems (e.g: CIFS)
Description:
Not exactly a "bug", more as an inconvenient inflexibility.
The following lines cause CMake to produce a symbolic link to libphysfs.so:
SET_TARGET_PROPERTIES(physfs PROPERTIES VERSION ${PHYSFS_VERSION})
SET_TARGET_PROPERTIES(physfs PROPERTIES SOVERSION ${PHYSFS_SOVERSION})
Unfortunately, the drive the directory is on does not support symbolic link, so
it fails with the error:
"CMake Error: cmake_symlink_library: System Error: Operation not supported"
Nothing can be done to make them work; however, it would be convenient if there
were the option to perform a copy instead.
Steps to Reproduce:
1) Mount a CIFS
2) Attempt a CMake that performs a symlink (within the CIFS)
3) Failure
4) ?!?!?
5) Loss
Additional Information:
The CIFS is to a Windows share, which is probably why symlinks aren't supported.
Dakon on #sa...@freenode.org suggested this be reported.
