Hi, I'm currently using UWin to run the build system for a large Unix suite that I am porting to Windows. Some of the software is using the Windows symbolic-link support on NTFS systems that first shipped with Windows Vista. I mention this as opposed to the meaning of "ln -s" in UWin, which creates a shortcut.
Today I finally realized what was causing one of my weird problems: the UWin rm, when it looks at one of these symlinks, deletes the _target_ of the link rather than the link itself. This is...problematic, to say the least. Hopefully this illustrates what I mean: $ which rm /usr/bin/rm $ cat > src/target Hi there $ ls -l src/target symlink -rw-r--r-- 1 jpile Domain+Users 9 Aug 23 15:00 src/target lrwx------ 1 Administrators Domain+Users 7 Aug 23 15:00 symlink -> /K/tmp/src/target $ cat symlink Hi there $ rm symlink $ ls -l src/target symlink ls: src/target: not found lrwx------ 1 Administrators Domain+Users 7 Aug 23 14:38 symlink -> /K/tmp/symlink -jP _______________________________________________ uwin-users mailing list [email protected] https://mailman.research.att.com/mailman/listinfo/uwin-users
