Rake has a nice way of handling this using dependencies:
directory "foo/bar"
file "foo/bar/baz.h"=>"foo/bar" do
# create baz.h, directory exists ...
end
Personally, I use mkdir_p, which will create parent directories as
necessary, and not complain if directory already exists:
file "foo/bar/baz.h" do
mkdir_p "foo/bar"
# create baz.h, directory exists ...
end
