Re: [Boost-build] install command to copy whole directory

Hi,

Thanks for your reply.

In my situation I want to copy the $(SVN_HOME)/etc
directory to /some/directory/. In which Jamfile should
I write the install targets? Is this
$(SVN_HOME)/Jamroot or $(SVN_HOME)/etc/Jamfile?

Moreover, glob-tree gives me the error "rule glob-tree
unknown in module ...". I am using boost-build from a
Debian package. Should I install boost-build from
Boost's source tree?

Thanks,
Andrej
