How to embed qml-files etc. in executable file? [solved]

[ZapB]

Ah, you cannot compile a dll into the resource system. I do not think the library loader supports using the resource system. Also it doesn't really make sense to place a shared library inside the binary as it loses any benefit of being a shared library.

I think you'll need to remove your style plugin from the resource system and load that using the method I suggested above with QDeclarativeEngine::addImportPath().

Ah! I almost forget that libraries can't be resources.

It works now when styleplugin.dll is inside the .exe-folder.

I also placed a copy of styleplugin.dll inside the folder 'plugins' and added the following line in my main-function

@QCoreApplication::addLibraryPath(QCoreApplication::applicationDirPath() + "/plugins");@

but that doesn't work. What could be wrong here? applicationDirPath() returns the correct location.

[ZapB]

What category of plugin is it?

[Hedge]

It's a qml-plugin.

[ZapB]

In that case I think that you need to use QDeclarativeEngine::addImportPath() as I mentioed earlier rather than addLibraryPath().

[Hedge]

OK, but that returns an error (I placed it in the main-function)

@QDeclarativeEngine::addImportPath(QCoreApplication::applicationDirPath() + "/plugins");@

@error: incomplete type 'QDeclarativeEngine' used in nested name specifier@

Adding it to the QmlApplicationViewer doesn't do anything

@ QmlApplicationViewer viewer;
viewer.addImportPath(QCoreApplication::applicationDirPath() + "/plugins");@

Also the QtCreator-editor complains that it can't find both imports:
@import "qrc:/desktop-components/components"
import "qrc:/desktop-components/components/plugin"@

You set it solved but i can't see solution.. Could you write me solution?

I think we can't load library in such way. For me problem solution was in modifying qstyleplugin and build rules. If needed I can share the code.

[DamianMilo]

Could you share code? thanks.
