[edit] Using Junction
Here are two batch files that you can copy and paste into your favorite text editor and save under any name you like. Save them into your main TYPO3 directory.
These batch files require that you first install a free program called Junction in the WINNT directory. For XP or 2003 change WINNT to WINDOWS.
[edit] For the Quickstart Package
rem Recursively create a junction "C:\WINNT\junction.exe" -s .\typo3\t3lib\ .\t3lib\ "C:\WINNT\junction.exe" -s .\typo3\gfx\ .\t3lib\gfx\ "C:\WINNT\junction.exe" -s .\tslib\ .\typo3\sysext\cms\tslib\ rem Copy the fonts instead of symlinking them copy .\t3lib\fonts\vera.ttf .\t3lib\fonts\verdana.ttf copy .\t3lib\fonts\nimbus.ttf .\t3lib\fonts\arial.ttf rem Copy thumbs.php to typo3 copy .\t3lib\thumbs.php .\typo3\thumbs.php
This results in the following directory structure:
21.04.04 10:00 <DIR> . 21.04.04 10:00 <DIR> .. 21.04.04 09:48 <DIR> misc 21.04.04 09:49 <DIR> t3lib 21.04.04 10:00 <JUNCTION> tslib 21.04.04 10:00 <DIR> typo3
[edit] For the Dummy Package
rem Recursively create a junction "C:\WINNT\junction.exe" -s .\typo3_src\ ..\typo3_src\ "C:\WINNT\junction.exe" -s .\t3lib\ ..\typo3_src\t3lib\ "C:\WINNT\junction.exe" -s .\typo3\ ..\typo3_src\typo3\ "C:\WINNT\junction.exe" -s .\tslib\ ..\typo3_src\typo3\sysext\cms\tslib\
This results in the following directory structure:
21.04.04 10:00 <DIR> . 21.04.04 10:00 <DIR> .. 20.04.04 23:16 clear.gif 21.04.04 09:44 <DIR> fileadmin 20.04.04 23:16 index.php 20.04.04 23:16 showpic.php 21.04.04 10:00 <JUNCTION> t3lib 21.04.04 10:00 <JUNCTION> tslib 21.04.04 10:00 <JUNCTION> typo3 21.04.04 09:44 <DIR> typo3conf 21.04.04 09:44 <DIR> typo3temp 21.04.04 10:00 <JUNCTION> typo3_src 21.04.04 09:44 <DIR> uploads
Also, make sure to copy the index.php file from the source directory into the dummy directory.
copy .\..\typo3_src\index.php index.php
[edit] Using Winbolic
If you don't like using the command line to create junctions, you can use a graphical program called Winbolic instead. Its GUI makes it easy to navigate and create or remove NTFS junctions or shell links.
