[FIXED] Netbeans: how to copy files on build?

Issue

I`m implementing simple c++ library in Netbeans using make build tool. I want to copy some header files to folder include/{lib_name} on each build. How to do this?

Solution

Edit the .build-post target of your project's Makefile. Here is an example:

.build-post: .build-impl
# Add your post 'build' code here...
    [ -d include/${CND_ARTIFACT_NAME_${CONF}} ] || mkdir include/${CND_ARTIFACT_NAME_${CONF}}
    cp *.h include/${CND_ARTIFACT_NAME_${CONF}}

Lines must be indented with tab characters. If you copy paste this snippet, it will probably have spaces and you should replace them with a tab character.

The ${CND_ARTIFACT_NAME_${CONF}} is a Makefile variable representing the name and configuration of your library artifact. If that isn't exactly what you want, you could replace the variable with your library name.
