how to use msvs_postbuild to copy diffrent files to OutDir

[alenn...@gmail.com]

'configurations':

                {

                    'Debug':

                    {

                           'msvs_postbuild': 

                            [

                                        r'copy "<(QTDIR)\bin\Qt5Cored.dll" "$(OutDir)"',

                                        r'copy "..\3rd\opencv\bin\Debug\opencv_world331d.dll" "$(OutDir)" ',

                            ],#msvs_postbuild

                    },

                    'Release':

                    {

                           'msvs_postbuild': 

                            [

                                        r'copy "<(QTDIR)\bin\Qt5Core.dll" "$(OutDir)"',

                                        r'copy "..\3rd\opencv\bin\Release\opencv_world331.dll" "$(OutDir)" ',

                            ],#msvs_postbuild

                    },

               }

This is what I want to do, but i found this is wrong , so i want to konw how to achieve the goal, or are there other ways to do

Try:

'msbuild_settings':{ 'PostBuildEvent':{'Command':r'copy ...'},

            },

It's an interesting feature request (post-build-action).

A common pattern that results in portable builds is to add a dependent `none` type wrapper `target` with an `action` that does the copy.
