QMake and resources

Thanatos.jsse

Hi,

I'm using on my application a binary resource, this is compiled using:

@$ rcc -binary -no-compress myResource.qrc -o myResource.rcc@

Then I copy the *.rcc to ${BUILD_PATH}/share folder. (¬¬ using cp $path_to_myResource path_to_mySharedFolder).

The question is:

How can I configure my *.pro file for let do this work (compile the resource file) to qmake tool?

@# I've tried to use
CONFIG += resources

...

QMAKE_RESOURCE_FLAGS += -no-compress -binary
@

Thank your for your help.

Just adding
@
RESOURCES += <resource>.qrc
@

should do.

Yes Tomma, that's correct. All resource file must be added to RESOURCES variable.

But how can I tell to qmake: Over this resource use rcc -binary -no-compress resource.qrc -o resourceOutput.rcc

QMake variable:

QMAKE_POST_LINK

You can create script which will make rcc file and copy to destination folder. Next you should add this script in QMAKE_POST_LINK. Don't forget to no add your qrc file to RESOURCES if you want load rcc dynamicly. Sorry for my flawed English.

Thank you Hoste, that is a good solution, I have only one problem, create each script to be used on each platform.

PD: You make me look in google translate for word flawed :P

Best regards,

In near future I will use QMAKE_POST_LINK in my .pro file for creating rcc by script and I think that I will use Python - it's cross platform.
