Hello guys,

I would like several files to be copied from "folderA" to "folderB" automatically after each "make".
Does anyone know how to add a post-build line into the makefile?

Regards,
Yasir

p.s. Linux noob here.

Thank you for the link.

Where does that block of text go inside the Makefile?

you can write shell command in makefile
after last make command in your makefile, enter your copy command

all: example.o
$(CC) -o application_name example.o -I.
cp -r folderA/* folderB/*
