Cp: Target Is Not a Directory
I Have a Bash Script with This Line: Cp -R /Usr/Lib/Gcc/X86_64-Linux-Gnu/$Gcc_Version/* /App/. Apt/Usr/Lib/Gcc/X86_64-Linux-Gnu/$Gcc_Version Full Script...
I have a bash script with this line:
cp -R /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-linux-gnu/$GCC_VERSION/* /app/.apt/usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-linux-gnu/$GCC_VERSION
Full script:
Unfortunately it fails with cp: target ‘/app/.apt/usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-linux-gnu/4.8’ is not a directory
Any tips what could be wrong? Unfortunately I do not have much experience with bash.
Previously this script was running alone and it was working. Now I had to add some apt-get install before it, and it started to fail so I am trying to fix it.

There is no directory with the name 4.8...Thats your problem :)
Run this before your cp command:
mkdir -p /app/.apt/usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-linux-gnu/$GCC_VERSION
It creates all directories in the given path!
This should work, add / at the end of cp command to make it clear for it that its dir:
mkdir -p /app/.apt
cp -R $BUILD_DIR/.apt/* /app/.apt/
