+## Building a PHAR with Box as a dependency
+
+If you need to include Box as part of your dependencies and include it within your PHAR, you will probably encounter
+the following issue when building your PHAR:
+
+```
+Could not dump the autoloader.
+[...]
+Could not scan for classes inside "/path/to/vendor/humbug/php-scoper/vendor-hotfix/" which does not appear to be a file nor a folder
+```
+
+This is because by default, Box does not include VCS or dot files which results in the directory `vendor/humbug/php-scoper/vendor-hotfix/`
+to be excluded (as it becomes an empty directory). To circumvent that, you will likely need:
+
+```json
+{
+ "directories": ["vendor/humbug/php-scoper/vendor-hotfix"]
+}
+```
+
+Note that as a result you may want to use the [`force-autodiscovery`][force-autodiscovery] setting.
