QMAKE_POST_LINK does not work with qt creator 2.7.1

[DavidXanatos]

I have a problem with qt creator 2.7.1,
it seams to ignore QMAKE_POST_LINK it does not call the programms specyfyed.
it seams nto to execute it at all, nothing in the compile log that would indicate it even tryed to execute the command, also it seams the commands don't end up in the make files that are made.

Any idea whats the problem?

Cheers
David

I am certain it has nothing to do with Qt Creator.

The QMAKE_POST_LINK variable is used by qmake to generate rules into a Makefile for later execution by a make utility. If you have not already done so, rerun qmake.

The QMAKE_POST_LINK commands will only execute if the target is relinked, so if that is not the required the command swill not executed.

I tryed i think every thing i could think about already:
1. clicking "run qmake"
2. clicking build
3. erasing the output directory and clicking build
4. clicking build new/rebuild all

I'm using MS VS2010 can it be that the pre/post link stuff only works with gcc or so?

No. How about you share what you actually have in your PRO file.

There is no use of QMAKE_POST_LINK in that pro file. Is it hidden in the included pri file?
