How to get qmake to include resource files?
Message 1 in thread
Hi Everyone,
I have a resource file that refers to HTML and images. Currently, when I change the .qrc file, rcc and link are correctly called. If I just change any of the html or images files, then building the project does not run the rcc utility automatically.
How can I tell qmake to include all of the resource files referenced in the qrc file as dependents of the qrc file, so that rcc is called whenever any of the resource files change.
I am happy to do this explicitly in the .pro, though it would be really nice if qmake would do it implicitly - similar to what it does for .cpp references to .h files.
Many thanks in advance,
Tony Rietwyk

Run qmake after you change the qrc file to point to a resource...
The issue is, the dependencies are done one time, when qmake is run. So
if you change the qrc afterwards, the dependencies are not updated.

I don't understand. Currently, I don't seem to have any dependencies to the
source resource files (.htm, .png). The rcc utility is NOT called when these
resources are modified - only when the .qrc file itself is modified.
I am running on WinXP SP3 using VS2005 SP1 and VSIntegration 1.4.4.
To elaborate further, in the project pane in VS, the Resource Files branch
only shows the .qrc file. I would like it to show the .qrc AND all of the
resources referenced within the .qrc.
Regards,
Tony.

I get different results... All the source files in my qrc file are
listed in the resources folder.
However, I run qmake after I modify the .qrc file

Scott, I think he is changing a file listed in the .qrc file, not the .qrc
file itself. This still should work, however just like changing a .h file
causes a .cpp file to recompile.
It works for me, BTW. The project I use generates a file that is included in
the .qrc file. Every time I generate the file, qmake automatically runs rcc
on the .qrc file. Make sure you run qmake, not just nmake. (I build on the
command line, VS has no easy way of running non-compilation parts of a
build.)

The point of emphasis... YOU MUST RE-RUN QMAKE...
Qmake reads in the qrc file, and adds the resources as dependencies of
the output C++ file of the rcc.

When _DOES_ the VS2005 integration run qmake? Does it run it every time you
do a build? (It should.) I suspect it only runs it when you "Open Solution
from .pro File."

I have had problems with the integrations "auto update project"
functionality.. and usually turn it off (its an option)
So I would manually run qmake

Thanks very much for your assistance.
Running QMake has worked as expected and added the source resource files, as
well as the qrc.
I've been doing so many qmakes lately to get around a vs integration bug, I
must have somehow overlooked this project.

Tony Rietwyk.
