Arch Linux User Repository

I built today, but have the same issue:

Hmm, this is strange. I just tried to build in an Arch VM, and was able to build without seeing this error.

Are you building outside the main ZombieTrackerGPS tree, and then using "make install" before running the program? I typically build in a shadow directory, like:

../ZombieTrackerGPS
../ldutils
../build-ZombieTrackerGPS-Desktop-Release

cd to build-ZombieTrackerGPS-Desktop-Release, use "qmake ../ZombieTrackerGPS/*.pro", make, and sudo make install.

In any case, I will try to revisit this rcc creation since it is clearly still causing difficulties for some people. In the meantime, you can try to create those files by hand from the build directory. Something like this should work to create the .rcc files.

 for f in art art-light art-dark icons-light icons-dark geopol; do
    rcc --compress 6 --threshold 8 --binary ../ZombieTrackerGPS/art/${f}.qrc -o ${f}.rcc
 done

I built today, but have the same issue: ZombieTrackerGPS: Unable to find local resource file art.rcc

I still have the following error: ZombieTrackerGPS: Unable to find local resource file art.rcc

@alevalv - ok, glad to hear that fixed it.

@loopdawg np, I thought that it was some issue due to the packaging. This package "doesn't" needs updating since it is a -git package, it always pull the latest ldutils + zombietrackergps from the git repo. I verified that the issue didn't happen anymore and removed the workaround by @robust_raptor.

for some reason the first created package is missing those files.

Hi - I'm the author of this package. I'm not an arch user myself (which makes your forum signup bot rejector using pacman an even better Turing test...), but that resource file problem existed independent of distribution. It appeared related to qmake's order of operations.

I checked in a new version of the .pro file in github commit 15c8dd11c3382e2ca591d0a77d488590e890b20b (after one bad attempt, so make sure not to get the prior commit). I hope this will address it, so you won't have to maintain a divergence over time. The fix simply creates empty files the first time, leaving the Qt rcc to create them thereafter. I'm open to a better fix if someone is more of a qmake guru than I am and wants to contribute one.

Since the commit is on ZTGPS ToT, it requires either also updating ldutils, or getting only the *.pro change without the others on ToT.

@robust_raptor thanks for the fix, I have updated the package with it.

I'm not sure if it's the right place to do this, or the right place to put the files, but adding this line to package() fixes the issue for me :

mv ${srcdir}/build/*.rcc ${pkgdir}/usr/share/zombietrackergps/

@parkerlreed for some reason the first created package is missing those files. If you delete the created pkg file and run again makefile it will be fixed. I'm not sure what is causing this error.
