adding files from subfolders
i am trying to backup my source projects, and there is one problem i've faced in:
when i try to add command:
File /r *.cpp
compiling failes with error message:
File: "*.cpp" -> no files found.
Usage: File (/r filespec [...]|/oname=outfile one_file_only)
Error in script "blah" on line 27 -- aborting creation process

file is not in the root, but subfolder(s) have plenty of them.


is there a nice way to add ALL *.cpp files from the whole subtree to the installer?

something like:

Section "my source"
SetOutPath $INSTDIR
SetOverwrite ifnewer

File /r *.dsp
File /r *.dsw

File /r *.cpp
File /r *.h
File /r *.hpp
File /r *.ipp

File /r *.def

File /r *.rc
File /r *.rc2
File /r *.res
File /r *.ico
File /r *.bmp

File *.nsi

my code works with this :


File /r "pms\xtras\*.*"

maybe u have the script in the wrong folder or so

Yes, *.* will work, but *.cpp won't work. I think this is a bug in NSIS.
