[systemd-devel] EXTERNAL: Re: Failed to Create Symbolic Link During Build

[Otten, Jeffrey]

Vito,
You're correct - it's a typo due to Microsoft auto correction. It is lib/systemd/system.
I just discovered that the systemd.mak file provided in Buildroot contains:

define SYSTEMD_INSTALL_SERVICE_AUTOVT
	ln -sf ../../../lib/systemd/system/getty at .service \
		$(TARGET_DIR)/lib/systemd/system/autovt at .service

I'll try changing /lib to /usr/lib

However, the sym link does exist in the directory /home/ottenj/elinux/build/buildroot/fvlinux/target/usr/lib/system/system. Does anyone have a suggestion about how to fix this error?

At a glance that path looks wrong, typically it's "lib/systemd/system/" not "lib/system/system/"
