No, I tried that but than I got :


tar: compile.sh: Cannot stat: No such file or directory
tar: test_23s.cpp: Cannot stat: No such file or directory
tar: test_23s_inp.cpp: Cannot stat: No such file or directory
tar: test_9s.cpp: Cannot stat: No such file or directory
tar: test_9s_inp.cpp: Cannot stat: No such file or directory
tar: test_fast.cpp: Cannot stat: No such file or directory
tar: test_fast_inp.cpp: Cannot stat: No such file or directory
tar: Error exit delayed from previous errors

Which are the files in the directory where i did the call and not the
files of the directory I want to archive.
