Thanks for the quick answer. I should precise though that what I really 
want to do is to establish a dependency between my lib target and 
my "prebuild" event (to use the MSVC jargon) which is copying the file from

figure out how to do. Any ideas?

Can you please tell me where I can see the requirements? 

Thanks
