    Description

      In shadow build mode, we usually need to copy files from source folder to build folder.

      For example, we want to copy "a b.txt" to build directory, the contents of *.pro is

      #test.pro
      
      QMAKE_LINK = @:
      
      FILES = "a b.txt"
      
      copy2build.input = FILES
      copy2build.output = build/${QMAKE_FILE_IN}
      copy2build.commands = $$QMAKE_COPY ${QMAKE_FILE_IN} ${QMAKE_FILE_OUT}
      copy2build.variable_out = PRE_TARGETDEPS
      copy2build.name = COPY ${QMAKE_FILE_IN}
      copy2build.CONFIG += no_link
      
      QMAKE_EXTRA_COMPILERS += copy2build
      

      Then we can run qmake to generate Makefile.

      compiler_copy2build_make_all: build/a\ b.txt
      compiler_copy2build_clean:
      	-$(DEL_FILE) build/a\ b.txt
      build/a\ b.txt: a\ b.txt
      	cp -f a\ b.txt build/a/\ b.txt
      

      As you can see, last line is wrong, which should be

      	cp -f a\ b.txt build/a\ b.txt
