I have a partition where the whole oe stuff is residing ( tree , tmp`s for various builds ) but i symlinked it inot my /home folder and also use it in there so i dont have any problem ( but i remmeber having problems at least a year ago with symlinking the tree ) Maybe that faq is outdated and not "valid" anymore Regards rob_w Matthew Palmer schrieb: > Everywhere I go while assembling my OE build tree, I see admonishments not > to use a path that has symlinks in it.
