Create symlinks (CreateSymbolicLink)

[Igormcd]

I'm using Far Manager (http://www.farmanager.com, MC-like file manager) under Wine 1.7.38.
The app fails to create symbolic links. I assume the CreateSymbolicLink WinAPI is not supported in Wine. Is it correct?
Is there symlink APIs planned to be supported in Wine?

The linked page below seems to indicate that CreateSymbolicLink function is implemented in Wine.
You may want to analyse your issue further.

Link: kernel32: Implement CreateSymbolicLinkA/W by reusing a modified IoCreateSymbolicLink

[Igormcd]

Existing source code has no the implementation.
Instead there are stubs in dll/kernel32/path.c

Code: Select all

/*************************************************************************
 *           CreateSymbolicLinkW   (KERNEL32.@)
 */
BOOL WINAPI CreateSymbolicLinkW(LPCWSTR link, LPCWSTR target, DWORD flags)
{
    FIXME("(%s %s %d): stub\n", debugstr_w(link), debugstr_w(target), flags);
    return TRUE;
}

/*************************************************************************
 *           CreateSymbolicLinkA   (KERNEL32.@)
 */
BOOL WINAPI CreateSymbolicLinkA(LPCSTR link, LPCSTR target, DWORD flags)
{
    FIXME("(%s %s %d): stub\n", debugstr_a(link), debugstr_a(target), flags);
    return TRUE;
}

by the link there is http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=27108 on top
and it has "CreateSymbolicLinkW depends on Bug 12401".
I assume the patch was never merged.

I attach an updated patch for Wine 1.7.41.
Feel free to test it.
