Here is another change i noticed when switching from 5.6.2 to 5.11.1 I used to tweak QMAKE_COPY and its cousins, to do extra stuff on the files installed by INSTALLS variable.
Now, files in INSTALLS are installed using 'qmake -install qinstall', stored in QINSTALL variable, written in the makefile directly from a hardocded value in qmake sources. It seems i am able to do something similar that i used to by - adding my install targets in COPIES instead of INSTALLS, - modifying mkspecs/features/file_copies.prf to use my custom copy command instead of $(QINSTALL) This has at least the additionnal limitation of forcing me to also split install lists that used to contain files and folder into separate lists because file_copies.prf does not like it for some reason, even though i don't see it doing anything specific for files or folders. Also, i can not add to COPIES, when TEMPLATE=subdirs, when i can do it for INSTALLS Is there really not anymore a simple way of specifying a list of files and folders to install, using a custom copy command, without modifying qmake internals or reinventing the wheel?
