Windows users
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
If you're on Windows Vista or higher, be sure that the "Symbolic Links"
option was selected when installing Git prior to cloning this repository. If
you're still seeing errors about files not being found it is likely because
the symlink at ``api/client-server/definitions/event-schemas`` looks like a
file. To correct the problem, open an Administrative/Elevated shell in your
cloned matrix-doc directory and run the following::
cd api\client-server\definitions
del event-schemas
mklink /D event-schemas "..\..\..\event-schemas"
This will delete the file and replace it with a symlink. Git should not detect
this as a change, and you should be able to go back to building the project.
