As an alternative to the answer of sfstewman, here’s a small cmake (2.8) function to convert all files in a specific folder to C data and write them in wished output file:
# Creates C resources file from files in given directory
function(create_resources dir output)
# Create empty output file
file(WRITE ${output} "")
# Collect input files
file(GLOB bins ${dir}/*)
# Iterate through input files
foreach(bin ${bins})
# Get short filename
string(REGEX MATCH "([^/]+)$" filename ${bin})
# Replace filename spaces & extension separator for C compatibility
string(REGEX REPLACE "\\.| |-" "_" filename ${filename})
# Read hex data from file
file(READ ${bin} filedata HEX)
# Convert hex data for C compatibility
string(REGEX REPLACE "([0-9a-f][0-9a-f])" "0x\\1," filedata ${filedata})
# Append data to output file
file(APPEND ${output} "const unsigned char ${filename}[] = {${filedata}};\nconst unsigned ${filename}_size = sizeof(${filename});\n")
endforeach()
endfunction()
