[Mono-dev] Symlinks not created

[David Vigier]

Hello,

I'm new to Mono. I've tried to install it on OpenEmbedded/Angstrom using 
"opkg mono" but I got 4 warnings about symbolic links not created:
* extract_archive: Cannot create symlink from 
../gac/Mono.CompilerServices.SymbolWriter/2.0.0.0__0738eb9f132ed756/Mono.CompilerServices.SymbolWriter.dll 
to 
'../gac/Mono.CompilerServices.SymbolWriter/2.0.0.0__0738eb9f132ed756/Mono.CompilerServices.SymbolWrit': 
No such file or directory.

It seems I'm hitting a 100 characters limit on the path name. I wanted 
to create the symbolic links myself: would that do the trick ?

If yes, I'm not sure where exactly I need to create those symbolic 
links. After some browsing, here are the links I'm planning to create:

    * /usr/lib/mono/*2.0*/Mono.CompilerServices.SymbolWriter.dll
      -->/usr/lib/mono/gac/Mono.CompilerServices.SymbolWriter/*2.0*.../Mono.CompilerServices.SymbolWriter.dll
    * /usr/lib/mono/*2.0*/System.ComponentModel.DataAnnotations.dll
      -->/usr/lib/mono/gac/System.ComponentModel.DataAnnotations/*3.5*.../System.ComponentModel.DataAnnotations.dll
    * /usr/lib/mono/*1.0*/Mono.CompilerServices.SymbolWriter.dll
      -->/usr/lib/mono/gac/Mono.CompilerServices.SymbolWriter/*1.0*.../Mono.CompilerServices.SymbolWriter.dll
    * /usr/lib/mono/*1.0*/System.Runtime.Serialization.Formatters.Soap.dll
      -->/usr/lib/mono/gac/System.Runtime.Serialization.Formatters.Soap/*1.0*.../System.Runtime.Serialization.Formatters.Soap.dll

Do I have these right ?

Thanks for your help.
