--- Comment #36 from Andris Pavenis <andris.pavenis at iki dot fi> 2013-02-14 04:25:17 UTC --- This way does not work for DJGPP v2.03 (version v2.04pre is OK). For DJGPP v2.03: AC_PROG_LN_S tries 'ln -s', which do not work, after that it falls back to simple 'ln' which creates copy of file (acts as 'cp'). As the result we'll getting LN_S=ln in Makefile Correct way should be detecting whether ln -s works for directories in configure script and adding corresponding substitution for Makefile.in for LN_S_RECURSIVE like LN_S_RECURSIVE=@LN_S_RECURSIVE@ Tests could look like: - create directory and file in the it - try to create symlink to directory and look whether it succeeds - check for presence of the file through symlink Less pedantic way could be avoiding using file in subdirectory and relaying on success of 'ln -s' only.
