QMAKE_POST_LINK fails when more than one exist in .pro file

Hi All,
My scenario is, i need to copy some external third party shared libraries as well as qt dependent libraries into the executable path.

Here is my .pro file code snippet,

# to copy shared libraries and third party exe to output dir
CONFIG( debug, debug|release ) {

#debug
    FILELIST +=  $$PWD/libs/*.dll                       \   # stdfu libraries
                 $$PWD/7z/*.exe                             \   # 7za.exe
                 $$PWD/azure/v140/Win32/Debug/*.dll     \   # azure debug libraries
                

   TARGET_DEST  = $$OUT_PWD/debug
   TARGET_DEST ~= s,/,\\,g # fix slashes
} else {

#release
    FILELIST +=  $$PWD/libs/*.dll                       \   # stdfu libraries
                 $$PWD/7z/*.exe                             \   # 7za.exe
                 $$PWD/azure/v140/Win32/Release/*.dll     \   # azure debug libraries
                
    TARGET_DEST  = $$OUT_PWD/release
    TARGET_DEST ~= s,/,\\,g # fix slashes
}


for(file, FILELIST) {
    message($${file})
    TARGET_SRC  = $${file}
    TARGET_SRC  ~= s,/,\\,g # fix slashes

    QMAKE_POST_LINK +=$$quote(cmd /c copy /y $${TARGET_SRC} $${TARGET_DEST}$$escape_expand(\n\t))
}


CONFIG( debug, debug|release ) {
    # debug
    QMAKE_POST_LINK += windeployqt --qmldir $$PWD/resources $$OUT_PWD/debug
} else {
    # release
    QMAKE_POST_LINK += windeployqt --qmldir $$PWD/resources $$OUT_PWD/release
}

In this case only third party libraries are copied successful into output directory.
windeployqt fails to deploy .

If i comment third party libraries deployment code , then windeployqt deploys sucessfully.

Can someone please help me understand why QMAKE_POST_LINK fails, if i try do both operation ?

Hi,

You should check that the variable content is properly separated.
