Synopsis

qt5_add_big_resources(<VAR> file1.qrc [file2.qrc ...]
                      [OPTIONS ...])

Description

Creates compiled object files from Qt resource files using the Resource Compiler (rcc). Paths to the generated files are added to <VAR>.

This is similar to qt5_add_resources, but directly generates object files (.o, .obj) files instead of C++ source code. This allows to embed bigger resources, where compiling to C++ sources and then to binaries would be too time consuming or memory intensive.

Note that this macro is only available if using CMake 3.9 or later.

Arguments

You can set additional OPTIONS that should be added to the rcc calls. You can find possible options in the rcc documentation.

Examples

set(SOURCES main.cpp)
qt5_add_big_resources(SOURCES big_resource.qrc)
add_executable(myapp ${SOURCES})
