Mkdir
Factory
If you need to create a directory,
use the Mkdir
factory.
For example, if we need to process
a file in a temporary directory
in which the processing tool
will create other files that we don't care about,
you could use:
Command("file.out", "file.in", [ Delete("tempdir"), Mkdir("tempdir"), Copy("tempdir/${SOURCE.file}", "$SOURCE"), "process tempdir", Move("$TARGET", "tempdir/output_file"), Delete("tempdir"), ])
Which executes as:
% scons -Q Delete("tempdir") Mkdir("tempdir") Copy("tempdir/file.in", "file.in") process tempdir Move("file.out", "tempdir/output_file") scons: *** [file.out] No such file or directory
