Building symbolic link shared library in a shared folder of VirtualBox

Building symbolic link shared library in a shared folder of VirtualBox

I am now building a C++ library in Windows and Linux. For windows I am now
using Visual Studio for development, and for Linux I am now using Ubuntu
via Virtual Box. In order to make develop much easier, I shared the folder
of the project in Windows with Linux via the shared folder function of
Virtual Box. I compile and run the project in Windows first and if it
succeeds I will compile it in Linux. This is made possible thanks to
CMake. The problem I have is that if the shared library to be built is a
symbolic link one it cannot be compiled in Linux as this page suggests. If
it is not a symbolic one, it is fine. Then my questions are as follows:
Is symbolic link property important for a library in Linux?
Are there some solutions that can build the symbolic link library
successfully in shared folder?
