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. > Obviously, I can forward-pass installation prefix path, binary path, etc > from Cmake to the aplication, but I am interested, is there support for > situtation like this from KDE frameworks? > > Just an example: the app have a few .rc files for menus, can I set > additional search path for kde core addons (better from cmake, but settings > path for example from main.cpp not bad too, if it need done only one time), > and use not absolute path?

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. -- Boudewijn Rempt | https://www.valdyas.org | https://www.krita.org
