when building kernel-sources with quilt i struggled about symlinks created in other folders. had to add: index 18b765f..6e5caa8 100644 --- a/debian.master/reconstruct +++ b/debian.master/reconstruct @@ -4,3 +4,5 @@ ln -sf ../r0drv ubuntu/vbox/vboxguest/r0drv ln -sf ../include ubuntu/vbox/vboxsf/include ln -sf ../r0drv ubuntu/vbox/vboxsf/r0drv ln -sf ../include ubuntu/vbox/vboxvideo/include +rm -f ubuntu/vbox/r0drv/r0drv +rm -f ubuntu/vbox/include/include
Better way should be to check if symlink exist.
