Subject: [PATCH rt-tests RFC] install: Fix failed to create symbolic link hwlatdetect file exists
Date: Mon, 26 Mar 2012 15:33:39 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1332768819-4447-1-git-send-email-jkacur@redhat.com> (raw)
The following build error can occur if you have done a previous make install
if test -n "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages" ; then \
install -D -m 755 src/hwlatdetect/hwlatdetect.py /usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/hwlatdetect.py ; \
ln -s /usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/hwlatdetect.py "/usr/local/bin/hwlatdetect" ; \
fi
ln: failed to create symbolic link `/usr/local/bin/hwlatdetect': File exists
make: *** [install] Error 1
I initially wanted to fix the error by removing the symbolic link, with rm -rf
but Andrew Burgess pointed out that you can just use the
ln's -f (force) flag. I like that solution better.
