Hello Heiko, > Is there any option to tell Qbs not to follow a symbolic link given > within the "files" list?
This seems to be impossible, probably because Qbs for validity of source artifacts. But you can write a rule that creates the symlink when building: Product { type: original.concat(["symlink"]) Rule { requiresInputs: false Artifact { filePath: "link1.xxx" fileTags: "symlink" qbs.installDir: "dir1" qbs.install: true } prepare: { var cmd = new Command("ln", ["-sf", "destination", output.filePath]); cmd.highlight = "filegen"; cmd.description = "creating symbolic link '" + output.fileName + "'"; return cmd; } } } Unfornately a bit verbose though. _______________________________________________ Qbs mailing list Qbs@qt-project.org https://lists.qt-project.org/listinfo/qbs
