about creating configuration file and 'PRODUCT_COPY_FILES'

[Rick]

Hi all,

now I want to place some configuration files to the 'system/etc/
somedir' directory.

I know we can use 'PRODUCT_COPY_FILES' in makefile to copy file to the
'system' directory, like

PRODUCT_COPY_FILES := \
development/data/etc/vold.conf:system/etc/vold.conf \
frameworks/base/data/etc/android.hardware.camera.autofocus.xml:system/
etc/permissions/android.hardware.camera.autofocus.xml

But my direcory 'somedir' under path 'system/etc/' is not created at
first, and this is my question:
how to create this directory?

I know the system directory is read only, so it seems not possible to
create the directory in code.

Is there any ideas on this question?

Thanks for any response!!

BRs
Rick

Solved - Need to add complete path/filename in the target as well.

E.g.

PRODUCT_COPY_FILES += \
       $(LOCAL_PATH)/bcm/wpa_supplicant.conf:system/etc/wifi/wpa_supplicant.conf \
       $(LOCAL_PATH)/bcm/dhd.ko:root/lib/modules/dhd.ko \
       $(LOCAL_PATH)/bcm/fw4329.bin:system/etc/firmware/fw4329.bin \
       $(LOCAL_PATH)/bcm/4329_nvram.txt:system/etc/firmware/4329_nvram.txt

in my custom device/<brand>/<model>/full_<model>.mk will create system/etc/firmware and system/etc/wifi, both non existing after a base AOSP build.
