on windows when i build a have marbledata copied in ./debug/ where the
binary goes and it runs fine without a symlink.
also when you, for example, create a desktop shortcut to
subsurface.exe, marble will still look for marbledata relative to the
location of subsurface.exe, so this works fine as well.

while 'ln' is supposed to work from msys, i would suggest a:

!win32 {
+marbledata.commands += $(CHK_DIR_EXISTS) $$OUT_PWD/marbledata || ln
-s $$PWD/marbledata $$OUT_PWD/marbledata
+all.depends += marbledata
+QMAKE_EXTRA_TARGETS += marbledata
+
}
