Solved how to add line break in qmake function
-
Hi, everyone.
I'm busy recently, so that no time to login the forum. my god.
I have a problem about line break in qmake function, because of the error for command too long.
The function:
defineTest(CopyFiles){ src_dir = $$1 #first argument dst_dir = $$2 #second argument win32:{ for(name,src_dir){ cmd += xcopy $$name $$dst_dir\ /y /c && curFile =$$name } cmd += xcopy $$curFile $$dst_dir\ /y /c } }
The result of
cmd
is in one line, it causes the error of command to long. so, I needs insert line break. how to do, thanks. -
Hi @spobit,
maybe you can explain what you really want to do? Why do you put all these
xcopy
commands in one variable?You could run
xcopy
directly in the for loop, but even better would be to usexcopy
's possibility to copy a whole directory:xcopy $$src_dir $$dst_dir\ /y /c

@aha_1980 Thank you very much, first. I got a way by my team:
for(file, src_files) { # replace slashes in source path for Windows win32:file ~= s,/,\\,g QMAKE_PRE_LINK += $$QMAKE_COPY_DIR $$shell_quote($$file) $$shell_quote($$dst_dir) $$escape_expand(\\n\\t) }
