Pre-build events do not run if the project is up to date and no build is triggered. |
- Post-build event command line
Specifies any commands to execute after the build ends. To type long commands, click Edit Post-build to display the Pre-build Event/Post-build Event Command Line Dialog Box.
| Note: |
|---|
Add a call statement before all post-build commands that run .bat files. For example, call C:\MyFile.bat or call C:\MyFile.bat call C:\MyFile2.bat. |
- Run the post-build event
Specifies the following conditions for the post-build event to run, as shown in the following table.
Option | Result |
|---|
Always | Post-build event will run regardless of whether the build succeeds. |
On successful build | Post-build event will run if the build succeeds. Thus, the event will run even for a project that is up-to-date, as long as the build succeeds. |
When the build updates the project output | Post-build event will only run when the compiler's output file (.exe or .dll) is different than the previous compiler output file. Thus, a post-build event is not run if a project is up-to-date. |
