glib-compile-resources: Print a list of resource files referenced in `file.gresource.xml`.
$ glib-compile-resources --generate-dependencies ${file-gresource-xml}
try on your machine
The command you mentioned, "glib-compile-resources --generate-dependencies ${file-gresource-xml}", is used to generate a list of dependencies (source files) needed to compile a GResource XML file into a GResource binary file using the GLib library.
Here's a breakdown of the different parts of the command:
- "glib-compile-resources": This is the command-line tool used for compiling GResource XML files.
- "--generate-dependencies": This option tells the tool to generate a list of dependencies required for compiling the specified GResource XML file.
- "${file-gresource-xml}": This denotes a placeholder for the actual file name or path of the GResource XML file. The "${...}" format suggests that it is an environment variable being used as a parameter to the command. Replace "${file-gresource-xml}" with the actual file name or path.
To execute the command, you need to have the "glib-compile-resources" tool installed on your system. It is typically available as part of the GLib library, which is commonly used in GTK applications.
