Add a kind of files in CMakeLists.txt

realroot

To add all the image files I am trying to use GLOB in CMakeLists.txt:

file(GLOB IMAGE_FILES "src/resources/images/*.svg")

qt_add_resources(app "images"
    PREFIX "/"
    FILES ${IMAGE_FILES}
)

It does not compile:

CMake Error at /usr/lib/cmake/Qt6Core/Qt6CoreMacros.cmake:1886 (message):
The source file
'/path/app/src/resources/images/file1.svg' was specified
with an absolute path and is used in a Qt resource.  Please set the
QT_RESOURCE_ALIAS property on that source file to a relative path to make
the file properly accessible via the resource system.

I looked the QT_RESOURCE_ALIAS documentation but I am not sure to how use it.
Is it normal that I have to or am I doing something wrong?

Thus at the moment I am specifying all manually:

FILES
  file1.svg
  file2.svg ...

You should use relative paths with qt_add_resources
This can be done with the RELATIVE option in file(GLOB ...).

realroot

Now it compiles but it cannot find any files.

file(GLOB RELATIVE IMAGES_FILES "${CMAKE_CURRENT_SOURCE_DIR}/src/resources/images/*.svg")

message(STATUS "Files found: ${IMAGES_FILES}")
message(STATUS "Current source dir: ${CMAKE_CURRENT_SOURCE_DIR}")

-- Files found: 
-- Current source dir: /path/app

I made a new topic for this.
