Post-Build tried in Express 1.0 and Developer 1.1

[AlexeiPi]

Post-Build tried in Express 1.0 and Developer 1.1 gives the same negative result:

make --no-print-directory post-build
'attempt to copy a file'
copy C:\Symbian\7.0s\Series60_v21_CW\epoc32\release\THUMB\UREL\prog.exe c:\MyBin\
-@echo ' '
ЋиЁЎЄ  ў бЁ­в ЄбЁбҐ Є®¬ ­¤л.
make[1]: [post-build] Error 1 (ignored).


Sure i tried "copy prog.exe c:\MyBin\".
All in vain.
Upgrading didn'h help.

What does the error message say?
I think the error is there because of -@echo '', since it says, it is "ignored". Make ignores errors produced by lines starting with "-" only (for example CLEAN contains delete commands starting with "-", since it is not sure that all files exist). Makefiles are not batch files, thus removing @ (which may have no meaning in a makefile) might solve the problem.
Anyway, you may check if copy has happened, I think it has happened.

But how can I modify make file which is AUTOMATICALLY GENERATED and is not for editing.
Besides FILE IS NOT COPIED whatever i type in edit field - short or full filename to copy.
I can use only IDE of carbide 1.1 which is rather straightforward in Build Steps Tab:



Post-build step:

Thank you anyway for quick response.

What, exactly, are you putting in the Post-Build field in the project settings? It was not quite working correctly in Express 1.0 but worked fine for me in Professional v1.1.

I d like to put copying to some other directory for my needs.
It was just a line
copy prog.exe c:\MyBin\
I also tried
copy prog.exe c:/MyBin/
Failed as well.
this line of code I got from some documentation so was very surprised
not having it working properly. When upgraded to 1.1 I got the same failure again.
One additional question: how can I start "strip.exe" program? (If we overcome the post-build bug).

[mpinsonneault]

Try removing the last backslash from C:\MyBin.

That was the solution of the problem.
Thank you Matt.
