[ace-users] MPC Question regarding install= option in .mpc files using gnuace

In your platform_macros.GNU, set the the LN_S macro to cp -p.

LN_S = cp -p

Copies will be made instead of symbolic links.  However, you must be aware that
building the executable or library more than once will not copy to the target
location (because it already exists there).

HTH,
