Not using symlinks for Windows-hosted virtual box #30

Closed BaptisteVandecrux closed 3 years ago

Symbolic links cannot be used when running the toolchain on ubuntu within a virtualbox hosted by a windows machine. This is because symbolic links do not exist in windows: https://github.com/hashicorp/vagrant/issues/713

They are some complex workaround but it's much easier to adapt the code and replace symlinks with copy.

This is solved in bav-dev

Found a workaround: have the code in local, have the data in shared.

-> No need to remove symbolic links
