W4309 warning
--link could not create a symlink/junction; copying instead
- area
- manifest (x4xxx)
- fails the build
- with --deny-warnings
wowlua dev --link could not create a symlink (macOS, Linux) or directory
junction (Windows) from the game's AddOns folder to the build, so it copies
the build instead. The AddOn works the same; later builds are copied as well
instead of updated in place.
Check that the AddOns folder is writable and on a file system that supports links. The warning comes from installing into the game, so it has no example here.
