Title Body

Is there anyway to get the windows style path to the directory containing the .pro or convert what is stored in _PRO_FILE_PWD_ to a Windows style path ? I have an issue with the _PRO_FILE_PWD_ variable in Qmake where it returns a unix style path on windows. e.g c:/foo/bar instead of c:\foo\bar This is proving a problem where the path is being used as part of a post link step. QMAKE_POST_LINK += copy /y $$[QT_INSTALL_BINS]\\QtCore4.dll $${_PRO_FILE_PWD_}/bin/; I use the .pro file to create a Visual Studio project and I can see that if I manually change the forward slashes to back slashes in VS that everything is copied fine without any errors. I get the following error in Visual Studio if I don't correct the path. PostBuildEvent: 1> Description: copy /y C:\Qt\4.8.3\bin\QtCore4.dll E:/foo/build/win32//bin//; 1> The syntax of the command is incorrect. 1>C:\Program Files (x86)\MSBuild\Microsoft.Cpp\v4.0\Microsoft.CppCommon.targets(113,5): error MSB3073: The command "copy /y C:\Qt\4.8.3\bin\QtCore4.dll E:/foo/build/win32/bin/; 1>C:\Program Files (x86)\MSBuild\Microsoft.Cpp\v4.0\Microsoft.CppCommon.targets(113,5): error MSB3073: :VCEnd" exited with code 1. Solution Very simple solution thanks to Roku by adding escaped double quotes around the path using / characters. MAKE_POST_LINK += copy /y $$[QT_INSTALL_BINS]\\QtCore4.dll \"$${_PRO_FILE_PWD_}/bin/\"; Note for addingi multiple copy commands you must seperate them with the ampersand the semicolon doesn't work. e.g. MAKE_POST_LINK += copy /y $$[QT_INSTALL_BINS]\\QtCore4.dll \"$${_PRO_FILE_PWD_}/bin/\" & MAKE_POST_LINK += copy /y $$[QT_INSTALL_BINS]\\QtGui4.dll \"$${_PRO_FILE_PWD_}/bin/\"; </pr
