GLib resource compiler
----------------------
SYNOPSIS
--------
| **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 <https://docs.gtk.org/gio/struct.Resource.html>`_.
OPTIONS
-------
``-h``, ``--help``
Print help and exit.
``--version``
Print program version 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. If ``--sourcedir`` is used more
than once, the specified directories are searched in order.
``--generate``
Write the output file in the format selected for by its filename extension:
``.c``
C source
``.h``
C header
``.gresource``
resource bundle
``--generate-source``
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 it is
automatically rebuilt if any of them change::
test.gresource: test.gresource.xml $(shell $(GLIB_COMPILE_RESOURCES) --generate-dependencies test.gresource.xml)
Note that this may or may not be portable to non-GNU ``make``.
Also see ``--dependency-file``.
``--c-name``
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.
``--external-data``
By default, code generated by ``--generate-source`` embeds the resource data
as a string literal. When ``--external-data`` is given, the data is only
declared in the generated C file, and the data has to be linked externally.
``--dependency-file <FILE>``
Write dependencies in the same style as ``gcc -M -MF`` to the given file. If
``FILE`` is ``-``, the dependencies are written to the standard output. Unlike
``--generate-dependencies``, this option can be combined with other
``--generate`` options to generate dependencies as a side-effect of generating
sources.
``--generate-phony-targets``
When creating a dependency file with ``--dependency-file`` include phony
targets in the same style as ``gcc -MP``. This would typically be used with
``make``.
``--compiler <NAME>``
Generate code that is going to target the given compiler ``NAME``. The current
two compiler modes are ``gcc``, for all GCC-compatible toolchains; and
``msvc``, for the Microsoft Visual C Compiler. If this option isn’t set, then
the default will be taken from the ``CC`` environment variable.
ENVIRONMENT
-----------
``XMLLINT``
The 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 for in the ``PATH``.
``GDK_PIXBUF_PIXDATA``
Deprecated since gdk-pixbuf 2.32, as ``GResource`` supports embedding
modern image formats without conversion.
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 for in the
``PATH``.
``JSON_GLIB_FORMAT``
The full path to the ``json-glib-format`` executable. This is used to
preprocess resources with the ``json-stripblanks`` preprocessing option. If
this environment variable is not set, ``json-glib-format`` is searched for in
the ``PATH``.
