[SOLVED] Data file in resources is not recognised.

[karhu44]

Hi,

I have problem with resource file under Windows 8.1. The resource file is very simple:

@<RCC>
<qresource prefix="/">
<file>data/eu_states.dta</file>
</qresource>
</RCC>
@

The configuration file is:

@#-------------------------------------------------

Project created by QtCreator 2014-05-14T10:55:59

#-------------------------------------------------
QT += core
QT -= gui
TARGET = resources1
CONFIG += console
CONFIG -= app_bundle
TEMPLATE = app

SOURCES +=
resources1.cpp

RESOURCES +=
my_resources.qrc
@

The program is as follow:

@
#include <QCoreApplication>
#include <QtCore>
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
QCoreApplication a(argc, argv);

try {
    QFile   istr(":/data/eu_states.dta");
    if (istr.open(QIODevice::ReadOnly)) {
        QTextStream in(&istr);
        while (!in.atEnd()) {
            cout << in.readLine().toStdString() << endl;
        }
        istr.close();
    }
    else throw QString("%1 (%2).").arg(istr.error())
                        .arg(istr.errorString());
}
catch(QString& err) {
    cout << "(RESOURCES1)ERROR: " << err.toStdString() << endl;
}
return a.exit();

}
@

The program displays:

(RESOURCES1)ERROR: 5 (Unknown error).

Any idea what is wrong in this code or perhaps it is a bug in Qt?

Hi,

you misse Q_INIT_RESOURCE in the main before use resources
