How could I register the files do not under the directories of Qt resource system
-
[quote author="SGaist" date="1371712668"]Then you only have to add the qrc in your application pro file and you should be good
[/quote]I add it into my .pro already
@RESOURCES +=
qrc.qrc@the problem is the resource system of Qt
do not accept the resources which do not under the folder.message of QtCreator when I intent to add the shaders
The file /Users/Qt/program/libs/ShadersEffects/toGray.fsh is not in a subdirectory of the resource file. You now have the option to copy this file to a valid location.
parent/libs/ShaderEffects -- the location of my shaders
parent/apps/colorEnhance -- the location of my app, the .pro and the
qrc are under this folder -
Then try to move the qrc in Shader effects and do
@
RESOURCES += ../ShaderEffects/qrc.qrc
@You might also want to change the qrc name to shaders.qrc it would be cleaner
-
Thanks for your help, as you suggested, change the qrc name would make the project easier to maintain.

I add the qrc as you suggested, but there area problem
After I make my "main.qml" become a file in the qrc
the program always complain it cannot find the directory.pro
@
RESOURCES +=
../../experiment_libs/qmlHelper/shaderSupport/support.qrc \
qrc.qrc
@main.cpp
@
#include <QtQuick/QQuickView>
#include <QGuiApplication>
#include <QtDeclarative/QDeclarativeEngine>
#include <QQmlEngine>int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
QGuiApplication app(argc, argv);QQuickView view; view.setResizeMode(QQuickView::SizeRootObjectToView); view.setSource(QStringLiteral("qrc:/main.qml")); view.show(); return app.exec();
}
@
main.qml
@
import QtQuick 2.1import "../../commercial_libs/qmlHelper/shaderSupport"

width: 100
height: 62Image{ anchors.fill: parent source: "file:///Users/et/Downloads/1360800908784.jpg" ImageEffect{ source: parent } }
}

error message

The folder where your application is started is not the same as your source folder.

Yes, I do not put them in the same folder
because it should belongs to other module
if this is the limit of qrc, then I have to find another solutionex :
1 : copy the files of other folder into my source folder
and add them into the qrc, could .pro handle this kind of jobs?
Or I have to write some script according to different platforms?
Maybe use Qt to write a simple app to handle the cross platform
issues would be a better solution2: just wrapped those shader codes as .hpp and .cpp
The second solution
-
Wait: what do you want to import from that path ?
If it's the shaders, since you have them in your qrc get them from the qrc
-
Part of them are qrc, part of them are qml components
I was confuse by the error messages, looks like I could access
the shaders in qrc even it is not under my source foldersNow the problem is how could I access the qml do not under
my source folder(ImageEffect in main.qml)? -
qrc is meant for that, embed the file in your executable so your don't have to get them from your hard drive.
Note that it's not a "put in everything" solution. You can't take tones of megabytes and have them built in your executable (I am not saying it's your case, it's just a warning)
As for the qml side, I'm sorry but I have not yet any expertise with it. But IIRC there have been several post on the subject

I have no intent to make every thing become part of my
executeable, what I want to do is make sure the resource files
like shaders, icons and qml could be loaded without too much
headaches.
