Please note it's called EXTRA*FILES* so I'm not really surprised that it works on files instead of on directories… Anyway, you could just put the files you need in the build/ directory, that works well with: EXTRA_FILES = foo/bar/baz/* If you have several levels, you can use this instead: EXTRAFILES = `find foo -type f` If anything, I think we should improve (as in: write) documentations in build/README instead of changing a long standing behaviour which might be relied on. By the way, this patch seems to be reversed: > diff --git a/build/Makefile b/build/Makefile > index 88ccad9fd..8f87b1559 100644 > --- a/build/Makefile > +++ b/build/Makefile > @@ -400,8 +400,8 @@ ifdef EXTRAFILES > # Copy in any extra files. > set -e; \ > for file in $(EXTRAFILES); do \ > - mkdir --parents $(TREE); \ > - cp --archive --recursive $$file $(TREE); \ > + mkdir -p $(TREE)/`dirname $$file`; \ > + cp -a $$file $(TREE)/$$file; \ > done > endif KiBi.
