At least on Windows 2003 using "ln -s dir1 dir2" in msys shell succeeds, but results in what looks like hard link. Subsequent "rm -f dir2" (e.g. during second config.status invocation) fails. Check that we also can remove link to directory.
Make it more clear in message that we are checking "ln -s". --- acinclude.m4 | 6 +++--- 1 file changed, 3 insertions(+), 3 deletions(-) diff --git a/acinclude.m4 b/acinclude.m4 index 32d5477..b2bb88d 100644 --- a/acinclude.m4 +++ b/acinclude.m4 @@ -418,15 +418,15 @@ else [fi] ]) -dnl Check if ln can handle directories properly (mingw). +dnl Check if ln -s can handle directories properly (mingw).
