Well, we also trying to target on Windows - this is also bring other
problems, but the application portability problems presents here too.
Also, thanks all for answers.

I would put most of those files in in the executable using the qrc system. That works \
for icons, settings rc file, xmlgui rc files (which, for Krita, I renamed to .xmlgui, \
since the rc suffix was confusing all my users). Not sure about knsrc files since the \
last attempt at integrating GHNS into Krita was a failure.<br> <br>

That's solved by going the qrc route.<br>

Are you only targeting Linux, or also other operating systems? For Linux, appimage \
probably is the best solution since it is the simplest for the end user.<br> <br>
