2017-01-23 12:11, Bruce Richardson:
> When creating the symlinks for header files to the include folder, the
> relpath script dereferenced all symlinks. This made it impossible to
> have file A.h renamed to B.h and then symlinked back to its original
> name. This is useful to be able to do when refactoring or reworking
> a library. Change this so that we just use the dirname of the path from
> readlink, we can use the basename as it was originally, even if it was a
> symlink.
