glib-compile-resources: Compile resources referenced in `file.gresource.xml` to a C source file.
$ glib-compile-resources --generate-source ${file-gresource-xml}
try on your machine
The command "glib-compile-resources --generate-source ${file-gresource-xml}" is used to compile a glib resource file (in XML format) into a source code file that can be used in a GNOME application.
Here's a breakdown of the command:
- "glib-compile-resources" is the name of the command-line tool used to compile glib resource files.
- "--generate-source" is an option that tells the command to generate source code instead of a binary resource file.
- "${file-gresource-xml}" is a placeholder that represents the path to the glib resource file you want to compile. You need to replace this placeholder with the actual path to your XML file.
When you run this command with the correct parameters, it will read the provided XML file that describes the resources (such as icons, images, etc.) in your project, and generate a source code file containing the necessary C code to access those resources in your application. This generated source code file can then be compiled and linked with your application's code.

never run a command you are not sure if it is safe.
