We need them to build applications, so that the include paths in userland look like the kernel ones, since we share header files between both environments. bye, Roland ___ Xenomai-core mailing list Xenomai-core@gna.org https://mail.gna.org/listinfo/xenomai-core -- Philippe. ___ Xenomai-core mailing list Xenomai-core@gna.org https://mail.gna.org/listinfo/xenomai-core

We need them to build applications, so that the include paths in userland look like the kernel ones, since we share header files between both environments. If we really wanted to remove the recursive symlinks (I do not advocate this, in fact I have no opinion about it, for instance are there really tools that go wild with such links ?), we could move include/asm-* to include/xenomai/asm-* and use #include xenomai/asm/foo.h everywhere. -- Gilles. ___ Xenomai-core mailing list Xenomai-core@gna.org https://mail.gna.org/listinfo/xenomai-core
