Christof THALHOFER reported a new bug.

Summary
-------

Gambas packs the content of .public into executable even if .public is a symlink

Type             : Bug
Priority         : Medium
Gambas version   : 3.18
Product          : Web components


Description
-----------

Gambas packs the content of the dir '.public' into the executable even if '.public' is a symlink.

I use a symlink '.public' to a directory containing static files so that the internal webserver can deliver css-files while developing and debugging.

'.public' => /path/to/static/files

When I create an executable of the project, Gambas packs all the static files from '/path/to/static/files' into the executable and blows up the size of the executable with unnecessary stuff.

This should not happen.
