| Summary | 0011541: find_program resolves symbolic links for paths in $PATH |
| Description | find_program seems to be resolving symbolic links for paths in the default search path.
Example: Maemo's Scratchbox links /target/<target-name>/usr to the current active /usr. using find_program for python will return /target/<target_name>/usr/bin/python instead of /usr/bin/python, making it useless to store this information for use by other projects as <target-name> can change in automatic builds, for example.
Is resolving symbolic links the expected behavior for find_program? |
| Steps To Reproduce | Use find_program to search for a program that is in a symbolic link directory also present in $PATH.
The returned value will have the source of the link instead of the link. |
| Additional Information | If the directory link is given in the PATHS argument the program is returned without resolving links. |
| Tags | No tags attached. |
