1 I'm trying to create symlinks in an ebuild using dosym but an having some
2 problems. I do the following:
3
4 dosym /usr/xyz/file /usr/abc/file
5
6 or
7
8 dosym ${D}/usr/xyz/file /usr/abc/file
9
10 but all I get in /usr/abc is a broken symlink.
11
12 The directory /usr/xyz has file in it and /usr/abc has file ->
13 /usr/xyz/file but ls shows a flashing red broken symlink and if I go to
14 /usr/abc and do ./file it says no such file or directory.
15
16 Looking at dosym all it does is ln -snf Target ${D}/link
17
18 What am I missing here?
19
20 Thanks.
