how to "install" a complete directory tree, , keeping its structure

Hi Volodya,

I was using 2.0 M11. I checked out from the CVS repo this
morning and
tried again. Same problem.
So I made the simplified testcase as you requested.

Building yui//yahoo or yui//menu works.
Building gui//www/yui fails like any call for an
"install" target
refering to another install "target".
It fails when creating the directory specified by
<location> (tries to
create twice).
If you try again, it works because the directory has been
created already.

Thanks,


Olivier

Thanks. The attached patch fixes the problem for me. I'd
rather like create a 
regression test for this -- would you agree to license your
testcase under 
Boost Software License, so that can incorporate it to
regression tests?

Thanks,
Volodya

Hi Volodya,

It solves the directory creation problem.

However, the structure that is created is not yet totally
correct (was
not in the past either).

In the gui/builddir directory, I expected to see a www
directory and a
www/yui subdirectory (hence the "install www" and
"install www/yui"
targets with <location>builddir requirement).

gui/builddir/
    index.html
    menu/
      assets/
         menu.css
      menu.js
    yahoo/
      yahoo.js

In the root builddir directory, only the index.html is
copied. If I add
a "<install-dependencies>on" requirement in
the install target of the
Jamroot, it copies the gui/builddir directory but also, all
the files of
yui, forgetting the directory structure.

Thanks,


Olivier
