Copy files after compiling

[slimmeke]

I want to copy different files (dll and data images, ...).
But when I insert the code to my post build settings of my project I got an error.
The code I use is:
cp /Libraries/bin/Debug_X86/* /Debug/*

The error that I have is:
process_begin: CreateProcess(NULL, cp /Libraries/bin/Debug_X86/* /Debug/*, ...) failed.

My folder structure is:

Project
- Game
- GameData
- GameEngine
- Libraries
__ - bin
____ -Debug_X86

Any idee how I can fix this?

cp is not a standard windows command...
You should use copy, xcopy etc

Ok I have changed the script to:
xcopy /I /Libraries/bin/Debug_X86/ /Debug/

Does not work yet. But is there a variable that points to the project folder. For example {Project} that does link to C:\Project \Folder?
Or does the script always run in the project main folder?

Does not work yet

This is very vague. Please explain what is not working

ut is there a variable that points to the project folder

By default, the working directory is set to the project folder

PS. Please read the HOW TO POST thread (link in my signature)

I have changed my script to:
xcopy /I Libraries\bin\Debug_X86\ Debug\.

When I run this in the cmd everything works fine.
When I do this in the post build I get some error:

mingw32-make.exe[1]: Entering directory 'D:/Downloads/SimuVille'
Executing Post Build commands ...
File not found - Debug_X86 Debug@echo
mingw32-make.exe[1]: *** [PostBuild] Error 4
mingw32-make.exe: *** [All] Error 2
xcopy /I Libraries\bin\Debug_X86\ Debug\
@echo Done
0 File(s) copied
SimuVille.mk:88: recipe for target 'PostBuild' failed

The problem is that your command ends with a backspace "\", which means: "the command continues on the next line"
So the built-in

Code: Select all

@echo Done

is treated as part of your command...

Change your post build command to (note the missing backspace at the end of the command)

Code: Select all

xcopy /I Libraries\bin\Debug_X86\ Debug

Tnx I have found it and it works.

Now I have

Code: Select all

xcopy /I Libraries\bin\Debug_X86 Debug
