Hi all,

Under Unix the IDE now resolves symlinks before opening a project (lpi file) or package (lpk file).

Reason:
The project/package directory is used as the working directory of the compiler and that always uses the physical filename (resolved symlinks). All paths passed to the compiler and all paths coming from the compiler are and were always relative to the physical working directory.

So. this issue [1] can be closed, I believe.

Anyway, thank you, Mattias.
