Hello Mark,

Then I create this directory: ~/.local/share/cockpit/389-console

And create a link to it:

[mareynol@fedora 389-console]$ ln -s $(pwd)/dist
~/.local/share/cockpit/389-console/
This creates a "dist" symlink *inside* the 389-console/ directory, which is a 
wrong structure:

[mareynol@fedora 389-console]$ ls -la ~/.local/share/cockpit/389-console/
total 4
drwxr-xr-x. 1 mareynol mareynol  8 Nov 29 13:09 .
drwxr-xr-x. 1 mareynol mareynol 22 Nov 29 13:09 ..
lrwxrwxrwx. 1 mareynol mareynol 68 Nov 29 13:09 dist ->
/home/mareynol/source/ds389/389-ds-base/src/cockpit/389-console/dist
What you want is ~/.local/share/cockpit/389-console → 
/home/mareynol/source/ds389/389-ds-base/src/cockpit/389-console/dist

I.e. do this instead:

   rm -r ~/.local/share/cockpit/389-console/
   ln -s $(pwd)/dist ~/.local/share/cockpit/389-console

(essentially, drop the trailing slash. That's what your README [0] says as well.

Hmm my README says to create ~/.local/share/cockpit/389-console This is where things went wrong.   I guess when I set it up on my old system I did it correctly.  I'll fix our README.  Thanks for the help Martin!

Note that starter-kit has a `make devel-install` rule [1] to do that, which
avoids these pitfalls. Your project even has that as well [2], even with the
`rm` robustification.

So TL/DR: Run `make devel-install`.

HTH,

Pitti
