sass - Compass Source in Multiple Directories

Question

Have you had success compiling SASS in multiple directories? Can you set up compass to recursively watch a directory?

I have read the documentation on add_import_path, but I would really appreciate some sample code, as I have (I am fairly certain) never written a line of ruby code.

The reason I ask is that I have several projects that share some standard scss. I would like changes to the shared scss to cascade to all projects.

thanks.

Let's say you have the following directroy structure:

project
    |-- config.rb
    +-- apps
        |-- main.scss
        |-- app1
            +-- appst1.scss
        |-- app2
            +-- appst2.scss
        +-- app3
            +-- appst3.scss

Then adjust your config.rb:

sass_dir = "apps"
add_import_path "apps"
...

and in your main.scss include the other scss files:

@import "app1/appst1";
@import "app2/appst2";
@import "app3/appst3";
