Porting from Windows to OSX and iOS

[abuv]

I have made a previous build on Windows and I am trying to port everything to OSX and iOS. I am following the directions given here:

https://qt-project.org/doc/qt-5-snapshot/porting-to-ios.html

The problem I am having is I have a file being copied to the build from an external source. So what I did in the Windows build is something like this in the .pro:

QMAKE_POST_LINK = copy $${SRCDIR}\file.h $${DESTDIR}
message(POST: $${QMAKE_POST_LINK})

This worked on windows, but on OS X, I am getting an error saying “copy” is not a file or directory. It is acting as if it is part of the source directory in the code above. Is there a different syntax or something I am missing?

Also, when I am trying to port to iOS, I am getting an error saying:

Project ERROR: Unknown module(s) in QT: serialport

is this module not supported on iOS?

Hi,

copy is a windows command, you should use:

@$(COPY)@

Which will be replaced by the right command.

As for the QtSerialPort module, from the top of my head, i'd say no.

Yes! I got it SGaist. What actually worked was as follows:

@$(cp $${SRCDIR}/file.h $${DESTDIR})@

[SGaist]

It should rather be:

@$(COPY) $${SRCDIR}/file.h $${DESTDIR}@

So you don't have to have a similar line for each platform
