Please read https://doc.qt.io/qbs/qml-qbslanguageitems-rule.html#rules-and-product-types Your rule is not executed because the product type is "application" and there is most likely no other product or rule that depends on an .out file. You should assign a file tag to the rule's output artifact and add this file tag to the product type. Something like this: CppApplication { type: [ "outfile"] // ... Rule { Artifact { filePath: input.fileName + ".out" fileTags: [ "outfile" ] } // ... } } Why do you want to copy an application executable into an .out file? That seems pointless. Do you maybe want to change the executable suffix? There is an undocumented property cpp.executableSuffix which you could try: CppApplication { cpp.executableSuffix: ".out" // ... } I don't know why it is undocumented. Maybe some linkers do not allow to change the suffix. _______________________________________________ Qbs mailing list Qbs@qt-project.org https://lists.qt-project.org/listinfo/qbs
