Reason to try this project is that there is still no response from REAPER developers with the request to add the official CMake files to build CSurf for multiple platforms.

Any suggestion?

CMake configure symlinks WDL to reaper-sdk directory. Apparently this is not permitted by your filesystem permissions. Modify your reamculive directory structure permissions to allow modifications, or run CMake configuration as user with permissions to modify directory structure.
