@monster I tried your suggested solution, but the project won’t compile then. I think I am halfway there, but I still cannot figure out what I am doing wrong.
Maybe I should share my meson.build files, as perhaps something is going on there that I simply don’t get.
There are a total of 3 meson.build files in the project, one at the root of it and three on each of the child directories src, data, po. The one at the root looks like this:
project('gramola', 'c',
version: '0.1.0',
meson_version: '>= 1.0.0',
default_options: [ 'warning_level=2', 'werror=false', 'c_std=gnu11', ],
)
i18n = import('i18n')
gnome = import('gnome')
cc = meson.get_compiler('c')
config_h = configuration_data()
config_h.set_quoted('PACKAGE_VERSION', meson.project_version())
config_h.set_quoted('GETTEXT_PACKAGE', 'gramola')
config_h.set_quoted('LOCALEDIR', get_option('prefix') / get_option('localedir'))
configure_file(output: 'config.h', configuration: config_h)
add_project_arguments(['-I' + meson.project_build_root()], language: 'c')
project_c_args = []
test_c_args = [

gnome.post_install(
glib_compile_schemas: true,
gtk_update_icon_cache: true,
update_desktop_database: true,
)
The one on the src folder, which I understand compiles the the gresource currently:
gramola_sources = [
'main.c',
'gramola-application.c',
'gramola-window.c',
]
gramola_deps = [
dependency('gtk4'),
dependency('libadwaita-1', version: '>= 1.4'),
]
blueprints = custom_target('blueprints',
input: files(
'gramola-window.blp',
'shortcuts-dialog.blp',
),
output: '.',
command: [find_program('blueprint-compiler'), 'batch-compile', '@OUTPUT@', '@CURRENT_SOURCE_DIR@', '@INPUT@'],
)
gramola_sources += gnome.compile_resources('gramola-resources',
'gramola.gresource.xml',
c_name: 'gramola',
dependencies: blueprints
)
executable('gramola', gramola_sources,
dependencies: gramola_deps,
install: true,
)
And then there is the one in data, which is where I want to add the lines of code to compile a new file called data-gresources.xml:
desktop_file = i18n.merge_file(
input: 'com.camperotactico.Gramola.desktop.in',
output: 'com.camperotactico.Gramola.desktop',
type: 'desktop',
po_dir: '../po',
install: true,
install_dir: get_option('datadir') / 'applications'
)
desktop_utils = find_program('desktop-file-validate', required: false)
if desktop_utils.found()
test('Validate desktop file', desktop_utils, args: [desktop_file])
endif
appstream_file = i18n.merge_file(
input: 'com.camperotactico.Gramola.metainfo.xml.in',
output: 'com.camperotactico.Gramola.metainfo.xml',
po_dir: '../po',
install: true,
install_dir: get_option('datadir') / 'metainfo'
)
appstreamcli = find_program('appstreamcli', required: false, disabler: true)
test('Validate appstream file', appstreamcli,
args: ['validate', '--no-net', '--explain', appstream_file])
install_data('com.camperotactico.Gramola.gschema.xml',
install_dir: get_option('datadir') / 'glib-2.0' / 'schemas'
)
compile_schemas = find_program('glib-compile-schemas', required: false, disabler: true)
test('Validate schema file',
compile_schemas,
args: ['--strict', '--dry-run', meson.current_source_dir()])
service_conf = configuration_data()
service_conf.set('bindir', get_option('prefix') / get_option('bindir'))
configure_file(
input: 'com.camperotactico.Gramola.service.in',
output: 'com.camperotactico.Gramola.service',
configuration: service_conf,
install_dir: get_option('datadir') / 'dbus-1' / 'services'
)
subdir('icons')
I tried looking at some of the repositories that GNOME Builder features, but they are too different from the default one that I am not able to understand what is happening.
