Compilation of ROS2 packages with messages fails with `--symlink-install`

CMake complains about non-existing library $ROS2_WORKSPACE/install/lib/rmw_ecal_dynamic_cpp.so, though the file exists but is a symlink.

A work-around is to copy the library in place of the symlink.

Please note that I'm using CMake 3.10 as this is the version provided by a package on Ubuntu 18.04.

I've just tried it on my machine (Ubuntu 18.04) and it seemed to work fine, although i'm using CMake 3.18, what ROS distro are you using?

I've build and used the rmw successful on Ubuntu 18 following the instructions. So from my point of view we can close that issue if @galou can not give any new input.

I don't have the capability to test this further, sorry. Closing the issue.
