Hi!

I have some projects that installs system libraries. One of them is
libstdc++.so.6 that is symlink to
/usr/lib/gcc/i686-pc-linux-gnu/4.1.1/libstdc++.so.6.0.8:
$ readlink -f $(g++ -print-file-name=libstdc++.so.6)


cvs the same command will copy the symlink
INSTALL(FILES /usr/lib/gcc/i686-pc-linux-gnu/4.1.1/libstdc++.so.6
DESTINATION lib)

I can't pack and distribute symlink instead of a file copy.

With cmake 2.4.6 INSTALL() command will copy the file, but with cmake from

with INSTALL(DIRECTORY ... )".
IMO it is more correct this way, anyway, this doesn't help you...

I think this is a fix for a bug I reported "symlink is turned to normal file

Is there a easy way to get the old behavior back?

install the copied files ?

Currently not I think. Maybe you can copy the files during cmake time and then

I'm also using this feature - wich is a bug for you.


just my 2 cents :-)

I understand that it can be required to copy a symlink rather than the content of the file it points to, but the opposite is also true, so I think that the behavior should be reverted to the one of the current stable release, and the current behavior of the cvs version should be made available as an option.
