Strange conclusion. Anyway not important.
In Dave's case the symlink functionality check fails because it is performed in TMPDIR which is located on ramfs.ifs (which fails to use symlinks). But I believe his real build directory is not on ramfs.ifs and symlinks are in fact supported there (and can be used). But this problem is not OS/2-specific, it may happen on any platform where TMPDIR is on a volume that doesn't support symlinks for sojme reason. I think the FFmpeg guys should fix this check to make it performed inside the build directory, not in TMPDIR.
Good to know that. I wish to see the latest bash for OS/2 soon.
Well, in fact, having bash would be not bad indeed, but since it has little impact on end users, this is postponed for later. Your contribution is (as always) welcome.
I meant those who don't use ln at all for compatibility with other OS/2 programs not built with kLIBC, like me.
Okay, but still. I don't think ongoing OS/2 development should be chained by people like you :) (nothing personal, of course). For instance, you won't be able to build the latest Firefox if your system doesn't support symlinks (at least because of python's virtualenv). And I'm not going to invest time in making it work in such a case, not at all (it's a pure waste). This is clearly offtopic for this mailing list though, so let's continue this conversation in private if you want.
My "correction" is not removing ln_s overriding. I don't want to use ln -s on OS/2.
Sorry but I really doubt things affecting other people should happen or not happen just because you want it or not. We are all here to collaborate. I added what I needed and what I think is the best. You don't agree, that's OK, so I offered you a compromise - write your own patch that will make it work for you the way you want it w/o breaking what I need. You refuse to do so and I don't find it collaborative. It's upto FFmpeg maintainers to decide what to do here, but I won't accept symlink usage removal in our repositiries. I will, however, accept your patch that will allow to go both ways (with the symlink usage being the default choice if supported by the underlying IFS).
