Error when building Rustpython using the freeze-stdlib feature

[Keithcat1]

Rust 1.56, Windows 10 X64, Rustpython master

Steps to reproduce:
git clone https://github.com/RustPython/RustPython
cd RustPython
cargo build --features=freeze-stdlib
...
error: Error listing dir "C:\py\git\rustpython\vm\pylib-crate\Lib": The system cannot find the path specified. (os error 3)

Did you set the environment variable RUSTPYTHONPATH?

[Keithcat1]

Not originally. I did a clean build now and set RUSTPYTHONPATH to the directory containing my Python distributions standard library and there is no difference. However as far as I understand it RUSTPYTHONPATH doesn't matter when using the freeze-stdlib feature, because the freeze-stdlib feature embeds a vendored copy of the Python standard library into Rustpython and doesn't actually find it on your system.

I figured it out. Before cloning Rustpython, try:

git config core.symlinks true

This fixed the problem for me on Windows 10 anyway.
