Adding qrc icon resource to a CMake Qt project

[SGaist]

Hi,

Did you ensure that the generated cpp file gets compiled and linked properly ?

[Slei]

do I have to do anything special with cmake or should this be done automatically with one of those

	set(CMAKE_AUTOMOC ON)
	set(CMAKE_AUTORCC ON)
	set(CMAKE_AUTOUIC ON)

[Slei]

i probably should add that I'm currently using a source build, maybe the there is no .ico support by default?
but I've alos tried it with png and jpg

[SGaist]

Can you show your CMakeList.txt file ?

I've tried it with GLOB for qrc or directly adding a qrc to the executable (custom cmake function in my case)

/       file(GLOB source_files *.c *.cpp *.qrc)
       file(GLOB header_files *.h *.hpp *.txt)

	set(CMAKE_INCLUDE_CURRENT_DIR ON)
	set(CMAKE_AUTOMOC ON)
	set(CMAKE_AUTORCC ON)
	set(CMAKE_AUTOUIC ON)
	find_package(Qt5Widgets REQUIRED)
	find_package(Qt5WebEngineWidgets REQUIRED)
	find_package(Qt5WebChannel REQUIRED)


	qt5_add_resources(COLYOO_QT_RESOURCES app.qrc web.qrc)

	message(STATUS "SLEIDEBUG:${COLYOO_QT_RESOURCES}")


       # add the GUI WIN32 executable
       cyo_add_executable(${PROJECT_NAME} WIN32 ${source_files} ${header_files} chatwidget.ui ${COLYOO_QT_RESOURCES})

if you have set(CMAKE_AUTORCC ON) then there's no need to call qt5_add_resources just add your .qrc files to the list of sources for the target as they were .cpp files

@VRonin

I've heard about that but it still doesn't work :o

[Slei]

@VRonin do I still have to add it to the executable and GLOB it then? or is this also done automatically with the AUTORCC

[VRonin]

you don't have to GLOB it, you can GLOB it. You could also add .qrc files in the same way you are adding chatwidget.ui at the moment

COLYOO_QT_RESOURCES

ok i think it works now, for whatever reason I'll test it a few times to be 100% sure, thsi is my current cmakelists.txt

    # search all source and header files
    file(GLOB source_files *.c *.cpp *.qrc)
    file(GLOB header_files *.h *.hpp *.txt)

	set(CMAKE_INCLUDE_CURRENT_DIR ON)
	set(CMAKE_AUTOMOC ON)
	set(CMAKE_AUTORCC ON)
	set(CMAKE_AUTOUIC ON)
	find_package(Qt5Widgets REQUIRED)
	find_package(Qt5WebEngineWidgets REQUIRED)
	find_package(Qt5WebChannel REQUIRED)


	#qt5_add_resources(COLYOO_QT_RESOURCES app.qrc web.qrc)

	message(STATUS "SLEIDEBUG:${COLYOO_QT_RESOURCES}")


    # add the GUI WIN32 executable
    cyo_add_executable(${PROJECT_NAME} WIN32 ${source_files} ${header_files} chatwidget.ui ${COLYOO_QT_RESOURCES})

but i think i tried this version once before and it didn't work lol ._.
