Try it This sort if failure occurs when someone does a "cp -r" or better yet, a "scp -r" to copy the build tree elsewhere and the directory symlink gets replicated as a directory, instead. >From long, harsh experience: do not try to decide, in a Makefile, whether a directory is a symlink and get cutesy about it. Use the "rm -r" hammer to make sure. -- I agree with you. The problem I stated occurs when building from the source and the makefile in the source should be modified to use -r. That works and I am having to add it each time I build from the source. devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct
