Installing directories and sub dirs in Jamroot

[cleo]

Some parts of this message have been removed. Learn more about Nabble's security policy.

As part of the install of a build, I need to copy the contents of some directories, including their subdirs.
Do I need to place a jamfile in each of the directories/subdirs to use glob-tree?

The directory struture is similar to:

dir1
   subdir1
        subdir1a
            testresult
   subdir2
        testresult

Would it be better to create an action/rule to use cp -rf?

thanks,

Cleo

You can use lower level path.glob-tree

import path ;

install dataToCopy
:
     [ path.glob-tree /path/aaa : *.* ]
:
     <location>/destination/path/
;

Thanks Juraj for the quick response.

I am receiving duplicate name:

/usr/share/boost-build/build/virtual-target.jam:1032: in virtual-target.register-actual-name from module virtual-target
error: Duplicate name of actual target: <pdist/release/tests/unit1>testresult.txt
error: previous virtual target { common%common.copy-testresult.txt. { tests/unit1/100/testresult.txt. } }
error: created from ./testcopy
error: another virtual target { common%common.copy-testresult.txt. { tests/unit1/200/testresult.txt. } }
error: created from ./testcopy
error: added properties: none
error: removed properties: none

Is there a way to get around this?

thanks,

cleo

Please don't top-post. This error means that there are two targets which
produce the same file. This occurs because install rule by default
copies files without preserving directory hierarchy. To preserve
hierarchy you must specify <install-source-root>.

See

http://www.boost.org/doc/tools/build/doc/html/bbv2/tasks/installing.html
Section "Preserving Directory Hierarchy".

E.g.

install dataToCopy
:
     [ path.glob-tree /path/aaa : *.* ]
:
     <location>/destination/path
     <install-source-root>/path/aaa
;

Thanks.  This works.  The only issue I have is that some of the directory names have periods in them, causing this error:

error: Unable to find file or target named
error:     'tests/unit1/200/220.1'
error: referred from project at
error:     '.'

Is there a way around this, or do I have to rename the directories?

My last suggestion fails to work on directories with dot and files
without dot.

Improved version:

import path ;

rule get-files ( dir )
{
        local result ;
        local filesAndDirs = [ path.glob-tree $(dir) : * ] ;
        for i in $(filesAndDirs)
        {
                if [ CHECK_IF_FILE $(i) ]
                {
                        result += $(i) ;
                }
        }
        return $(result) ;
}

install dataToInstall
:
        [ get-files /path/aaa ]
:
        <location>/destination/path
        <install-source-root>/path/aaa
;
