GLIB-COMPILE-RESOURCES()			      GLIB-COMPILE-RESOURCES()

NAME
       glib-compile-resources -	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 .gre-
       source.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.

       --generate
	  Write	the output file	in the format selected for by its filename ex-
	  tension:

	  .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 com-
	  piled	into an	application for	easy access.

       --generate-header
	  Generate  a  header  file  for use with C code generated by --gener-
	  ate-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.gre-
	  source as depending on all the  files	 that  test.gresource.xml  in-
	  cludes, 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  ini-
	  tialization of the resource. This works on most systems by using the
	  compiler  support for	constructors. However, some (uncommon) compil-
	  ers 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 ini-
	  tialization functions	as extern.  So they are	exported  unless  this
	  is  prevented	by a link script or other means.  Since	libraries usu-
	  ally 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-ef-
	  fect 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	 tool-
	  chains;  and	msvc, for the Microsoft	Visual C Compiler. If this op-
	  tion isnt set, then the default will be taken	from the  CC  environ-
	  ment variable.

ENVIRONMENT
       XMLLINT
	  The  full path to the	xmllint	executable. This is used to preprocess
	  resources with the xml-stripblanks preprocessing option. If this en-
	  vironment 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.
