> I just think that no matter whether it worked or not, hard-coding properties of the build system into the binary is the wrong way to do it. Sooner or later we might get terribly confused by the MinGW build behaving slightly differently from the MSVC build.
That's already the case, and it is very obvious that a change of the relative directory needs to result in a change somewhere. If you aren't confused that the msvc build puts your symlink into a different place you aren't going to be surprised that the binary looks in a different place, too. Remember, the installed binary finds the data files the same way, so we don't need to remember which compiler built the release binaries. If this is the only reason for your change, I'm for simply reverting it.
> Hardly surprising - it is a pretty radical change. Any pointers on what goes wrong? Does it try to "mklink" under Linux or something?
Yes, see the linked log.
