The original code looked like it had a bad merge at some point in its history (duplicates the
if
condition):Without this PR, MSYS2 uses
cp -PRr
instead of the intendedrsync
;rsync
is a reasonable fallback for the lack of symlinks in MSYS2, and it copies binaries correctly (ex. if bothdune
anddune.exe
are in the same directory,cp
will fail).The PR does not affect Cygwin which by default uses symlinks.
This PR is the real fix to https://github.com/ocaml/dune/blob/fa3aa2891ac74828a81f73894fe247f69c530c81/ci/build-test.sh#L82-L94 and similar failures.
