Yeah, it's too bad you can't symlink to major/minor library versions like on linux to handle versioning transparently with windows.

Yes, you can, but only in Windows 2000/XP.

As far as I know that only works on directories though, not on individual files so it'll be less neat than it is on Linux where a 'generic' name without version info is symlinked to another name (often in the same directory) with version info.

Oh, and it only works if you're actually using NTFS, not any FAT variants. Though I don't think many people still use FAT when NTFS is available.

Thank grv575 for answering me so clearly.
But it still can't work well, even after I  recompiled wxWidgets library.

However, it can work well on another computer(also Windows XP).
ha~ it's so strange! ^^

Not true, it works with files and directories.
