glib-compile-resources --generate-source {{file.gresource.xml}}

• Compile resources in file.gresource.xml to a chosen target file, with .c, .h or .gresource extension:

glib-compile-resources --generate --target={{file.ext}} {{file.gresource.xml}}

• Print a list of resource files referenced in file.gresource.xml:

glib-compile-resources --generate-dependencies {{file.gresource.xml}}
