I've looked around the web and found many very distinct ways of achieving this. I was wondering if there is some best practice related to this. Ideally I'd like to work from the same variables I use for linking, but I think I've already given up on that and know I'll have to hand-list every library. But still then I have these issues: - on windows the libraries are often the .lib, but I need to locate the associated DLL - on linux I need to ensure I'm copying the actual file an not a symlink - between debug/release I seem to have to list the files twice - I'd prefer a cross-platform solution, I don't want to code the copying once for each target platform If anybody has a good resource, or can recommend some best practices, that would be great.
