Re: Create a shar file

[Gary Oberbrunner]

If all your fooN files exist at the beginning of the cons run, it's 
easy: just do something like
  $e->Command('foo.shar', glob('foo_dir/foo*'), 'shar %< > %>');
You may have to fiddle with the glob to, for instance, set the current 
directory before globbing and/or prepend '#' to the filenames so cons 
sees them as top-relative.  But it's just perl.

If they *don't* exist before the cons run, it's trickier.  You'll have 
to use AfterBuild to run after the command which creates the fooN files 
to add them to the dependency list of the foo.shar target.

I hear scons can handle directories as dependencies, but I don't know if 
it will handle this particular case well or not.
