Copy .dll from .pro file [Solved]

luca

Hi all,
I'm developing a Qt windows application.
In my .pro file I have:
@
..
..
DESTDIR = ../bin
...
...
@

so when I build it I get the executable "myapp.exe" in ../bin directory .

To execute it I need to set some environmental variables so that it can found the Qt dll but I don't like this so I usually copy Qt dll in my "bin" directory and the application start without problem.
No I'd like to copy the Qt dll in bin directory automatically and not by hand.

Is it possible to write something in my .pro so that when I build the application it also copy some file in ..bin directory ?

Thanks, it works.
This is my .pro :
@
...
...
QMAKE_POST_LINK = copy c:\QtSDK\Desktop\Qt\4.7.3\mingw\lib\Qt*.dll ..\bin
...
...
@

Now it should be interesting if Qt has a "variable" that already contains:
@
c:\QtSDK\Desktop\Qt\4.7.3\mingw\lib
@
so I can use for example:
@
QMAKE_POST_LINK = copy QT_LIBRARY\Qt*.dll ..\bin
@

Is it possible?

cincirin

yes ...

@
QT_LIBRARY = c:\QtSDK\Desktop\Qt\4.7.3\mingw\lib
QMAKE_POST_LINK = copy $$QT_LIBRARY\Qt*.dll ..\bin
@

Thanks,
but I mean a Qt define already defined by Qt framwork.

I found this that do the works:
@
QMAKE_POST_LINK = copy $${QMAKE_LIBDIR_QT}\Qt*.dll ..\bin
