Comment #1 on issue 386 by vogt.adam: xmonad won't compile ~/.xmonad/xmonad.hs if it's a symlink http://code.google.com/p/xmonad/issues/detail?id=386 I can't reproduce your issue (on ghc-6.12.1, x86_64 linux) with the following: $ cd ~/.xmonad $ mv xmonad.hs config.hs `xmonad.hs' -> `config.hs' $ ln -s $HOME/.xmonad/config.hs $HOME/.xmonad/xmonad.hs $ xmonad --recompile $ xmonad --restart Where my whole ~/.xmonad is symlinked to ~/conf/xmonad Resolving symlinks is not done explicitly by xmonad: instead ghc manages that part. What ghc and arch do you have? How did you make the symlink? -- You received this message because you are listed in the owner or CC fields of this issue, or because you starred this issue.

Comment #2 on issue 386 by s...@rfrn.org: xmonad won't compile ~/.xmonad/xmonad.hs if it's a symlink http://code.google.com/p/xmonad/issues/detail?id=386 I'm terribly embarrassed: I was setting relative symlinks and xmonad.hs being one directory down (in ~/.xmonad instead of the other dot files in ~/) caused it to actually be a broken link. No bug here, was just overzealous in reporting. I apologize! -- You received this message because you are listed in the owner or CC fields of this issue, or because you starred this issue.
