Copy all binaries from /sourcedir to /destdir. Basically, all files with: no extension, and all files with *.a, *.so, *.ko, exclude from copy: *.c, *.h files. Copy files from all subdirs except the sub-directory named "excludeDir".
I have tried the following from bash:
find /my/sourcedir/ -mindepth 2 -type f -not -iname "excludeDir" -or "*.c" -or "*.h" -or "makefile" -print -exec cp {} /my/destdir \;
bash yields the following error:
find: paths must precede expression: `*.c'
The command does not throw an error until attempting to exclude files/sub-directory.
Find expect condition on the file name to follow -name pattern. This will be needed for the '*.c', '*.h' and 'Makefile' terms. (formatting for readability only, keep everything on one line).
find /my/sourcedir/ -mindepth 2 -type f -not '(' -iname "excludeDir"
-or -name '*.c'
-or -name '*.h'
-or -name "makefile" ')' -print -exec cp {} /my/destdir \;
