Hi Jurko, Phillip,

This is what I ended up using. I haven't debugged this properly, and it's not platform-independent (tested on "NT"), but it kind of works in principle:

###

import common ;
import make ;
import path ;
import regex ;

rule copy-file ( source_file target_file )
{
    source_file = [ path.native $(source_file) ] ;
    target_file = [ path.native $(target_file) ] ;
    echo "Copying file '$(source_file)' to '$(target_file)'..." ;

    do-copy-file $(source_file) $(target_file) ;
    Depends all : $(target_file) ;
}

actions do-copy-file
{
    copy "$(1)" "$(2)"
}

rule make-dir ( new_dir )
{
    new_dir = [ path.native $(new_dir) ] ;
    echo "Creating directory: '$(new_dir)'..." ;

    local parent_dir = [ path.parent $(new_dir) ] ;

    do-make-dir $(new_dir) ;
    Depends all : $(new_dir) ;
}

actions do-make-dir
{
    mkdir "$(1)"
}

rule copy-dir-tree ( source : target )
{
    echo "Copying directory tree '$(source)' to '$(target)'..." ;

    make-dir $(target) ;

    local source_files = [ path.glob-tree $(source) : * ] ;
    for local source_file in $(source_files)
    {
        local source_rel_file = [ path.relative-to $(source) $(source_file) ] ;
        target_file = [ path.join $(target) $(source_rel_file) ] ;

        if ! [ CHECK_IF_FILE $(source_file) ]
        {
            # This is a directory
            make-dir $(target_file) ;
        }
        else
        {
            # This is not a directory
            copy-file $(source_file) $(target_file) ;
        }
    }
}

make-dir "Some Folder/FOO/BAR/BAZ/BLAH/FOO1/BAR1/BAZ1/BLAH1/FOO/BAR/BAZ/BLAH" ;

copy-dir-tree CopyMeDir : DestDir ;

###

Many thanks for your help,
Paul

   Hi Paul.

> What about copying directory trees in Bjam? I can't get "install" to achieve this.

   You can use the install rule in combination with any of the globbing rules.

   For example:

install somewhereOverTheRainbow
:
     [ path.glob-tree gugu/gaga/data : *.* : .svn ] ;

   Hope this helps.

   Best regards,
     Jurko Gospodnetiæ
