Paths +to the generated source files are added to \c{<VAR>}. + +When passing a target as first argument, the function creates a resource with +the name \c{RESOURCE_NAME}, containing the specified \c{FILES}. The resource is +automatically linked into \c{TARGET}. + +For embedding bigger resources, see \l qt_add_big_resources. + +See \l{The Qt Resource System} for a general description of Qt resources. + +\section1 Arguments of the target-based variant + +\c PREFIX specifies a path prefix under which all files of this resource are +accessible from C++ code. This corresponds to the XML attribute \c prefix of the +\c .qrc file format. If \c PREFIX is not given, the target property +\l{cmake-target-property-QT_RESOURCE_PREFIX}{QT_RESOURCE_PREFIX} is used. + +\c LANG specifies the locale of this resource. This corresponds to the XML +attribute \c lang of the \c .qrc file format. + +\c BASE is a path prefix that denotes the root point of the file's alias. For +example, if \c BASE is \c{"assets"} and \c FILES is +\c{"assets/images/logo.png"}, then the alias of that file is +\c{"images/logo.png"}. + +Alias settings for files need to be set via the \c QT_RESOURCE_ALIAS source file +property. + +\section1 Arguments of both variants + +You can set additional \c{OPTIONS} that should be added to the \c{rcc} calls. +You can find possible options in the \l{rcc}{rcc documentation}. + +\section1 Examples + +Variable variant, using a .qrc file: +\snippet cmake-macros/examples.cmake qt_add_resources + +Target variant, using immediate resources: +\snippet cmake-macros/examples.cmake qt_add_resources_target + +\section1 Caveats + +When adding multiple resources, \c{RESOURCE_NAME} must be unique across all +resources linked into the final target. + +This especially affects static builds. There, the same resource name in +different static libraries conflict in the consuming target. +*/ |
