Package: nsis
Version: 2.46-7
Severity: normal
I have an nsis file that refers to files using relative referencing, eg
eg:
----
!insertmacro MUI_PAGE_LICENSE "COPYING"
----
However if I place my .nsi file outside of the base directory for my project
eg:
----
/home/user/project/folder/project.nsi
----
and use a symlink to link the project:
----
/home/user/project/project.nsi -> /home/user/project/folder/project.nsi
----
then makensis fails on the call open("COPYING",READ_ONLY), emitting:
----
LicenseData: open failed "COPYING"
----
If i replace the symlink with a copy of the file, then the script succeeds.
makensis should not attempt to obtain the working directory from the symlink or
its target, but should use the actual cwd.
