|

|
_nautilus-follow-symlink_ is a nautilus (GNOME Desktop) extension.
|
||
|
|

_caja-follow-symlink_ is a caja (MATE Desktop) extension.
|
||
|
|
||
|
They adds a menu entry on symbolic links to directories which open the pointed directory (the real path).
|
||
|
|
||
|
They do so both when right clicking on the folder icon or on the contents of an opened symbolic link.

|
## Installation
|
||
|
|
||
|
I provide both `deb` and `rpm` packages to download and install manually, e.g.:
|
||
|
|
||
|
```shell
|
||
|
dpkg -i nautilus-follow-symlink_1.2.0-pon.1_amd64.deb
|
||
|
```
|
||
|
|
||
|
For deb-based distributions you may add my [repository][debian-repository] to your sources:
|
||
|
|
||
|
```shell
|
||
|
echo 'deb http://packages.outlyer.net/debian stable main contrib' | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/packages.outlyer.net.list
|
||
|
sudo wget http://packages.outlyer.net/public_key.gpg -O /etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d/packages.outlyer.net.gpg
|
||
|
sudo apt update
|
||
|
```
|
||
|
|
||
|
## Building from source
|
||
|
|
||
|
Download the tarball and follow the traditional `configure` + `make` workflow, e.g.:
|
||
|
|
||
|
```shell
|
||
|
tar xvf nautilus-follow-symlink-1.2.0.tar.gz
|
||
|
cd nautilus-follow-symlink-1.2.0
|
||
|
./configure
|
||
|
make
|
||
|
sudo make install
|
||
|
```
|
||
|
|
||
|
## Building from the git repository
|
||
|
|
||
|
Building from the raw source in the repository requires the GNU `auto*` set of tools.
|
||
|
|
||
|
```shell
|
||
|
git clone https://git.outlyer.net/outlyer/nautilus-follow-symlink/
|
||
|
cd nautilus-follow-symlink/nautilus
|
||
|
./bootstrap.sh
|
||
|
./configure
|
||
|
make
|
||
|
sudo make install
|
||
|
```
