RE: How to use Command

The point is that cons work in a build directory where it will copy the
necessary files for the build (the necessary dependencies). So in my case,
with no dependencies explicitly listed, I have nothing in this working
directory and a simple "ls" will return nothing.
I have tried as well to do my "ls" directly in my source directory (where my
code is), but I have not found CONS variable that point to this one. I could
specify the entire (or relative) path but I do not want to see
"../../../dir1/dir2/" stuff in my Conscript.
So I am still looking for the magical CONS variable that will point to the
source directory (and not the working directory).

Sincerely,

Vincent

Well you can write some perl code which generates the complete list of
dependencies for you? Run the loop, feed it through ->Depends() ? (if I
remember correctly)
