Copying files to build directory on Mac OS...

tmason101

Hello,

I am trying to copy some files to the build directory on a Mac platform without success.

On a Microsoft Windows platform the below code works fine but the section marked for Mac does not run.

What gives?

Thank you:

Hi,

Unless I'm mistaken, the value you are setting in your macx scope will be overwritten by the ones from contains(QMAKE_TARGET.arch, x86_64)

tmason101

Hmmm, OK, I'll try specifying macx scope last.

tmason101

So here is what I have now.

As you can see, I created a Windows scope and a Max scope; the files still don't get copied over.

The files and folders most certainly exist as on Windows the items get copied over without issues.

Anything else I can try?

You can try to use a python script.

I think thats much easier and your pro file isn't blown up with deploying stuff.

@QMAKE_POST_LINK += python $$PWD/osx_deploy.py@

Where osx_deploy.py is your python script.

You can even pass arguments to your pyhton script.

@QMAKE_POST_LINK += python $$PWD/osx_deploy.py $$ARGUMENT@

tmason101

OK, I finally figured this out.

The above code works, no need for the python script which would add unnecessary complexity to the project.

You just need to add the "INSTALLS" build step and then everything works.

Makes sense since I am using the "INSTALLS" variable.
