It is so that when compiling the tools/ and examples/ directory, that code can use #include <barry/barry.h> just like normal applications would use the library. The g++ command line adds -I.. to the command line, which makes the symlink work. All the examples and the tools are coded in such a way as to help test the library for application readiness every time you type "make". The gui/ sub project also helps with this. - Chris ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by DB2 Express Download DB2 Express C - the FREE version of DB2 express and take control of your XML.
