[SOLVED] Use qrc file from CMake
-
I use CMake to organise my project. And I have some resource files (qml, png) within my application.
I want to avoid to list resource files twice: in CMakeLists.txt and qrc file, therefore:
- Added all resource files to qrc file
- Wrote a cmake macro to parse the qrc file to see all resource files in QtCreator too
So please comment what you think about this approach.

Hi,
Why not use
@qt5_add_resources(UI_RESOURCES myresources.qrc)
add_executable(myexec
…
${UI_RESOURCES})@?
-
Possible I miss this aspect in my initial post, but do you see the files used in myresources.qrc in QtCreator's Project view? I do not. So I have to navigate through myresources.qrc. Not very handy from my point of view.
-
I'm not sure I'm following you correctly. Do you mean see the files themselves or the qrc file ?
-
I want to see both, myresources.qrc file and all files listed in it.
But in the meantime I implemented another approach:
List all the resources in a CMakeLists.txt and during build the myresources.qrc is generated and used as input for rcc tool. -
AFAIK, even with qmake you would need to add the files as OTHER_FILES if you want to have them shown both separately
