Resource File not in executing File

[Fuel]

Im asking me if there are Options to compile the Resources in other Files then the Executable? I have Images and Soundfiles and i dont want that my executing File is larger then 100 MB. Im thinking of 2 explicit Files containing the Assets.

Is that in some way possible?

Hi,

Yes it is. Take a look at External Binary Resources in Qt's documentation.

Sorry but i dont understand rcc. What i read is that i can create, as Example, a Texture.qrc Resource File. Now i need to use the rcc command over the shell to create from this File an extern File?

Like that

rcc -binary textures.qrc -o textures.rcc

Do i need to execute rcc over the Shell or is it possible to add this to my pro File?

Yes on the shell.

You can create a custom target to automate that.

I just added this to a pro File. Is that correct? It seems like it doesnt work.

QMAKE_EXTRA_TARGETS += textures
textures.target = textures.rcc
textures.commands = rcc -binary textures.qrc -o $$textures.target

What do you mean by "it doesn't work" ?

Problem solved. This works for me

textures.target = textures.rcc
textures.depends = $$PWD/textures.qrc
textures.commands = rcc -binary $$PWD/textures.qrc -o $$textures.target
QMAKE_EXTRA_TARGETS += textures
PRE_TARGETDEPS += textures.rcc
