    Problems with symlinks on Windows
    ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
    If you're experiencing problems with symlinks, e.g., errors like ``
    \linkahead-cpplib\test_package\test_info.cpp(1,1): error C2059: syntax
    error '.'`` when running ``conan create`` on Windows you might need to
    activate the Windows Development Mode and adjust yor git config to
    allow symlinks as described in `this Stackoverflow post
    <https://stackoverflow.com/questions/5917249/git-symbolic-links-in-windows/59761201#59761201>`_. Without
    development mode and the proper git configuration, windows treats
    symlinks as text files instead of links.
