How to add a step of compilation of a .bat file

[cdcc0606]

I have my application done by qt. Now i want Qt start a .bat file each time i compile my project.
However, i can't see my bat file is started. Can i have an option to be sure my .bat file is started each time of compilation?

How do you intend to start the .bat file?

You need to give some details. Otherwise it is really hard to guess what are you trying to do.

@cdcc0606 Hi,

You can run a batch command before of after the link during compilation.
Something like that :

.pro file:

QMAKE_PRE_LINK = CMD /c CALL "C:\path\to\my\batch.cmd"

batch.cmd:

ping 127.0.0.1

Compilation output:

C:\path\to\my\project\build_folder>ping 127.0.0.1

I start my .bat file by add a step in compilation.
Here is the photo how i do it

So to make sure my .bat file is started, i add an Pause in my .bat file. So my compilation is never end. So now i'm sure i started my .bat file. But if i delete my Pause in my .bat file. I'm not sure my .bat file is started.
Is there an option to add to show the terminal when the .bat file is started?

Goto the buttom line of creator:

Press the the upper/lower triangle button marked above and switch on number 4 (in English Compilation Output").
This window is showing the output of your batch file. See also the post of @Gojir4 also refering to this output window.

I have just tested and introduced a batch in same location as you have done. The output is done to the compile window. See also the options provided by @Gojir4 which performed eventually when previous commands are performed successfully.
