When I use cmd, I follow the symbolic link and I don't get problems. I use some IDEs which work fine also, the only problem is that regularly they save the absolute path in the config files, but I can manage that. It's still not very consistent in Emacs. If I open a dired buffer on the linked directory, and open a file from the dired buffer, its path is that of the linked directory. If I open a file from the compilation buffer its path is that of the target directory. -- Pascal Quesseveur pquessev@gmail.com
