feel free to use all or part, a thank you in your file credits would be nice and of course any and all donations

change fileName to your setup/install file name
change dirs to dir names needed, make sure there's a comma between each dir
change file pattern if needed, usually not if all files to be included
I copy all files and directories that are needed to a different folder along with this file
compile the files that will be compiled
run this script
compile your setup/install file
then to test it I create another folder, and copy the setup/install file to it and run it
all files should be installed including compiled and scripts and dirs with contents
Be sure to test run it.
