#799: Configure should explicitly check for symbolic link capability on Linux
---------------------------------+------------------------------------------
Reporter: Austin_Hastings | Type: bug
Status: new | Priority: minor
Milestone: | Component: configure
Version: 1.3.0 | Severity: medium
Keywords: ntfs symbolic links | Lang:
Patch: | Platform: linux
---------------------------------+------------------------------------------
I'm running linux for Parrot work, but the underlying filesystem is NTFS,
mounted r/w. This means that Configure.pl will detect my system as being
linux, but it also means that symlinks don't work in the build area
(ironically, they DO work in /usr/**, but not in /home/austin/parrot).
When evaluating capabilities, Configure.pl should check to ensure that
symlinks work. Presently, the build fails when trying to link a versioned
.so to an unversioned on inside blib/lib. (I work around this by cp'ing
it, and restart the make.)
