<![CDATA[Specifying name of output .qrc file when using qt_add_translations]]>Given the following in the CMake file for a static library:

set(PROJECT_NAME DeepSkyStackerKernel)
  :
qt_add_translations(${PROJECT_NAME}
    TS_FILE_DIR i18n
    PLURALS_TS_FILE i18n/${PROJECT_NAME}_en.ts
    PLURALS_TS_FILE i18n/${PROJECT_NAME}_en_GB.ts
    )

Then, (AFAICT) a qrc file called DeepSkyStackerKernel_translations.qrc will be build dynamically and the .qm files added to that.

I would very much prefer that the output qrc file were called simply "kernel_translations.qrc".

How do I accomplish that?

Thanks, David

qt_add_translations(${PROJECT_NAME}
    TS_FILE_DIR i18n
    PLURALS_TS_FILE i18n/${PROJECT_NAME}_en.ts
    PLURALS_TS_FILE i18n/${PROJECT_NAME}_en_GB.ts
