How to execute shell command after compile finished from .pro in QT?

by

I had a similar problem. I wanted a special tool (versioner) to run over the code every time the Makefile was executed. Here’s the solution:

(to be read in the Qmake Manual, Configuring qmake’s Environment, Section: Customizing Makefile Output)

Create you own Makefile target. Specify the command etc.

mytarget.target = .buildfile
mytarget.commands = touch $$mytarget.target

QMAKE_EXTRA_TARGETS += mytarget

This way, you have an extra target you can call with make mytarget for example. If you want to tie it together to the actual buildtarget you’ll have to add:

POST_TARGETDEPS += mytarget

Hope that helps.

Best regards
D
