With automake 2.0, it will break and will submit patches to fix it. <blockquote cite="mid:201402172242.s1HMgWf2031209@glazunov.sibelius.xs4all.nl" type="cite"> <pre wrap=""> >From a practical point of view, some of us import Xorg into other version control systems that don't properly support symlinks. </pre> </blockquote> This is interesting. Does the imported X code include Mesa Graphics Library? It already contains links. Examples: <blockquote><tt>./mesa/mesa/src/gallium/state_trackers/dri/drm/dri_drawable.c</tt><tt> </tt><tt>./mesa/mesa/src/mesa/drivers/dri/r200/radeon_span.c</tt><tt> </tt></blockquote> I don't know how the X code is imported in the VCS, it is possible that you get real files instead of links (the tarball does not contain links). Can you apply the first patch and see what happens? Thanks </body> </html>
