Bulk lacks a dependency on the directory into which the files are being copied. It also doesn't do a MkDir for the directory -- but the one you have won't do you any good without the dependency on the directory.

The File rule, to which the files passed to Bulk are passed, also lacks a dependency on the directory to which the file is being copied, a MkDir for it, and a Clean on the target file.

(Basically, Bulk and File could use a little work :)

Hi,

i have some questions on jam.

at the beginning i wasn't able to compile jam with the dedicated makefile for Win2k. therefor i used Visual C++ 6.0 to compile a jam executable from the 2.5rc3 sources. i used the jambase.c file from the delivery but that doesn't make a change if i generate it by my own with mkjambase.

then i build up a project with several jamfiles and a jamrule file. i have to copy some header files from the original directory to another directory which doesn't exist the first time. if i want to use the following files this is not working. It seems that MkDir is not working. There is no output (even not with -d3) for the MkDir statement. The error output is always:

The system cannot find the path specified.

That means, the system wants to copy the file with the Bulk rule but the MkDir rule is not working.

I tried to use InstallFile but this is as well not working. Has anyone an idea why this is not working!?

# The InstallAll rule can also be copied to the Jamrule file.

rule InstallAll { MkDir $(COPYINC) ; Bulk $(COPYLIB) : $(1) ; Bulk $(COPYINC) : $(HEADERS) ; }

InstallAll bla.lib ;
