new misoc: symlinks on windows #21

Closed enjoy-digital closed 8 years ago

enjoy-digital commented 8 years ago

New misoc builder is using symbolic links to build cpu's software.

On windows machines, only administrators can create symbolic links so builder must be run as administrator.

That would be fine to avoid that if possible, if not we should maybe indicate it somewhere.

What do you propose? Copy the makefiles on windows (with the debugging problems that this causes)?

enjoy-digital commented 8 years ago

it seems to be possible to work around that: http://superuser.com/questions/104845/permission-to-make-symbolic-links-in-windows-7 I'll test that. I'm closing this. We'll reopen it if others users have the issue.
