Future Request: Copy source to target if newer

[chameleon]

I use OpenCL which has many text files compiled at runtime.
All of these text files must be copied from source directory to target directory (if newer).

There is no a cross-platfrom approach to do this with C::B.

Can we add this option for "Other" files??

Regards.

There is no a cross-platfrom approach to do this with C::B.

There is, if you use C::B's scripting engine.

Have you tried using something like:
$(CMD_CP) src/opencl/*.cl bin/opencl
or (more advanced)
[[ if (PLATFORM ==  PLATFORM_MSW) { print (_T("cmd /c xcopy /D /y")); } else { print (_T("sh cp -u")); } ]] src/opencl/*.cl bin/opencl
as a post-build step (see the Code::Blocks manual for details)?

Or the copy macro.

Or the copy macro.

Even simpler - even better.

Is ok to add a feature request? "Copy source to target if newer".

The forum is not good place to add feature requests. Use the project page at berlios.de

Hm...
I will work with
[[ if (PLATFORM ==  PLATFORM_MSW) { print (_T("cmd /c xcopy /D /y")); } else { print (_T("sh cp -u")); } ]] src/opencl/*.cl bin/opencl

But I thought something like "copy if newer" option for "Other" files, together with "compile" and "link" option (for every single file).

I am inspired from NetBeans (for Java) where if you have a *.java file, it compiled. If you have e.g. a *.png file, it copied.
(Off course I understand that in C++ there are many things to do with "Other" files instead of simply copy them to target - like intermediate building for something special library as is Qt)
