qrc_resources.cpp fatal error C1060: compiler is out of heap space

[SPlatten]

I've never done this before, is it simply a case of copying chunks of the file and adding another .qrc file with the content?

Yes, exactly, a simple copy-paste. Or rather, cut-paste.

Hi,

Out of curiosity, how many resources do you have in the original file ?

[SPlatten]

The original XML file contains 548 lines.
358 of these are images.
5 are JavaScript files
The rest are QML files and fonts.

[SPlatten]

Having split the original resource into 3 files, it stills come back with the same error on the last file which contains all the QML files.

And now I'm also getting:

  C1063: INTERNAL COMPILER ERROR      c1xx

[J.Hilk]

@SPlatten you have to rerun qmake after adding new resource files or when you edited a resource file

[SPlatten]

@J-Hilk, Done that, still a problem.

[sierdzio]

Thats weird! I've had memory issues in QRC with images, but with QML code - never. Something else must be causing the problem here.

2 things to try:

• run in single-job mode (no -j 8 or /MP, no jom.exe or whatever - sorry I'm not too Windowsy :P). This should be a bit lighter on memory
• try to add QML files one by one - maybe one specific QML file causes this? Maybe it contains some data which triggers the error?

[SPlatten]

Thanks, waiting for the current build to finish, if its still an issue I will take your advice.

[SPlatten]

Ok the error has changed again, now:

C1001: An internal error has occurred in the compiler.

And it stopped on the resource file that contains files that I don't think are relevant:

<RCC>
<qresource prefix="/">
<file>distribution_support/qt.conf</file>
<file>sortexS_tr.ts</file>
<file>sortexS_th.ts</file>
<file>sortexS_es.ts</file>
<file>sortexS_en.ts</file>
<file>sortexS_ru.ts</file>
<file>sortexS_fr.ts</file>
<file>sortexS_it.ts</file>
<file>sortexS_vi.ts</file>
<file>sortexS_pt.ts</file>
<file>sortexS_kr.ts</file>
<file>sortexS_xx.ts</file>
<file>sortexS_xy.ts</file>
<file>malgun.ttf</file>
<file>runui.bat</file>
</qresource>
</RCC>

How heavy are these images ?
How big is these files ?

[SPlatten]

@SGaist Hi, sorry can you explain by heavy to you mean how big are the file size's? They are all quite small, typical icon size's and mostly png's.

[SGaist]

Yes, I meant their size.

[SPlatten]

@SGaist , The dimensions of the images again are icon sizes's so all quite small, they're is just a lot of them.

[SGaist]

Ok, so nothing really unusual. How big are the generated cpp files ?

[SPlatten]

Total six of the project folder excluding objects and executable is 28MB, 882 Files.

[SGaist]

Sorry, I meant the cpp files generated by rcc.

@SPlatten Hi, it's too late but, maybe adding

CONFIG += resources_big

fixes the problem

I started getting "1060 Out of heap space" when I upgraded to Qt 6 and VS 2022. The "-std:c++17" flag triggers it.
The solution was to update to VS 2022 ver. 17.14.
This may be unrelated, but I'm posting it to help anyone else coming here with this problem.
