NAME¶
glib-compile-resources - GLib resource compilerSYNOPSIS¶
glib-compile-resources [OPTION...] {FILE}
DESCRIPTION¶
glib-compile-resources reads the resource description from FILE and the files that it references and creates a binary resource bundle that is suitable for use with the GResource API. The resulting bundle is then written out as-is, or as C source for linking into an application. The XML resource files normally have the filename extension .gresource.xml. For a detailed description of the XML file format, see the GResource documentation.OPTIONS¶
-h, --helpPrint help and exit
--target=TARGET
Store the compiled resources in the file TARGET.
If not specified a filename based on the FILE basename is used.
--sourcedir=DIRECTORY
The files referenced in FILE are loaded from this
directory. If not specified, the current directory is used.
--generate
Write the output file in the format selected for by its
filename extension:
.c
--generate-source
C source
.h
C header
.gresource
resource bundle
Instead of a writing the resource bundle in binary form
create a C source file that contains the resource bundle. This can then be
compiled into an application for easy access.
--generate-header
Generate a header file for use with C code generated by
--generate-source.
--generate-dependencies
Prints the list of files that the resource bundle
references to standard output. This can be used to track dependencies in the
build system. For example, the following make rule would mark
test.gresource as depending on all the files that
test.gresource.xml includes, so that is is automatically rebuilt if any
of them change:
Note that this may or may not be portable to non-GNU make.
--c-name
test.gresource: test.gresource.xml $(shell $(GLIB_COMPILE_RESOURCES) --generate-dependencies test.gresource.xml)
Specify the prefix used for the C identifiers in the code
generated by --generate-source and --generate-header.
--manual-register
By default code generated by --generate-source
uses automatic initialization of the resource. This works on most systems by
using the compiler support for constructors. However, some (uncommon)
compilers may not support this, you can then specify --manual-register,
which will generate custom register and unregister functions that your code
can manually call at initialization and uninitialization time.
--internal
By default code generated by --generate-source
declares all initialization functions as extern. So they are exported
unless this is prevented by a link script or other means. Since libraries
usually want to use the functions only internally it can be more useful to
declare them as G_GNUC_INTERNAL which is what --internal does.
ENVIRONMENT¶
XMLLINTThe full path to the xmllint executable. This is used to
preprocess resources with the xml-stripblanks preprocessing option. If this
environment variable is not set, xmllint is searched in the PATH.
GDK_PIXBUF_PIXDATA
The full path to the gdk-pixbuf-pixdata executable. This
is used to preprocess resources with the to-pixdata preprocessing option. If
this environment variable is not set, gdk-pixbuf-pixdata is searched in the
PATH.
