makepri new
Creates a PRI file at [outputfile] by indexing all files in the [projectroot] and its subdirectories as directed by the [configxml]. The index will be assigned [indexname] to reference resources in the application.
makepri new /pr <folderpath> /cf <filepath> [/of <filepath>] [/mn <filepath>] [/in <string>] [/vma <integer>] [/il <filepath>] [/am] [/o] [/v]
|
|
Option |
Description |
|---|
| /pr <folderpath> | Root location of project files. Example:
/pr C:\MyApp\src\
|
| /cf <filepath> | Configuration file location. Use the makepri createconfig command to generate this file. Example:
/cf C:\MyApp\priconfig.xml

| /of <filepath> | Output location of PRI file, default is [projectroot]\resources.pri. Example:
/of C:\MyApp\src\resources.pri
|
| /mn <filepath> | Location of the application or component's manifest. This parameter is ignored if [indexname] is given. Default is [projectroot]\AppXManifest.xml. |
