[QBS] Newbie to QBS

[olivier musse]

Hi everybody,

If somebody have time to help hereafter is a list of questions :
- When compiling a project with QBS it always start a command windows. 
How to remove this behavior?
- How can I perform a post link process as it can be done with 
QMAKE_POST_LINK
- what is the simplest way to install the list of Qt libraries (only 
needed ones) beside the executable ?
- is there any way to override the install root from the qbs file ?

Many thanks for help

Regards
Olivier

I'm not sure if you meant to say that you wanted to use /MT, but if that's the case it's currently not possible to specify the static runtime library (though if /MT overrides /MD, you can exploit that in the meantime). I've added an issue to our bug tracker for us to fix this (https://bugreports.qt-project.org/browse/QBS-570).
