 Looks like cmake is trying to create a symbolic link. I guess your
flash drive is formatted with a file system that doesn't support
symlinks (some variation of the FAT system most likely).

 Not sure why cmake would do this, but it must be able to cope when
compiling on Windows since file systems there generally don't support
symlinks. Hmmm...
