Title: Lazarus project files in a symbolic link folder
Post by: Igor Kokarev on April 19, 2021, 08:19:19 pm

For some reason I use a symbolic link for a folder where I store a Lazarus project ("ln -s ...").

However when I open a Lazarus project in a symbolic link folder, Lazarus shows real paths for all project files, including .lpi file.

Is it possible force Lazarus "think" that a symbolic link folder is a "real" folder?

On Windows it works correctly with "mklink /j ...".

In Windows mklink /j creates a HARD link, not a symbolic link. In macOS you cannot create hard links to directories, only symbolic links.

Thanks, I've understood.
