+AUTOMOC
+-------
+
+Should the target be processed with automoc (for Qt projects).
+
+AUTOMOC is a boolean specifying whether CMake will handle the Qt moc
+preprocessor automatically, i.e. without having to use the
+QT4_WRAP_CPP() or QT5_WRAP_CPP() macro. Currently Qt4 and Qt5 are
+supported. When this property is set to TRUE, CMake will scan the
+source files at build time and invoke moc accordingly. If an #include
+statement like #include "moc_foo.cpp" is found, the Q_OBJECT class
+declaration is expected in the header, and moc is run on the header
+file. If an #include statement like #include "foo.moc" is found, then
+a Q_OBJECT is expected in the current source file and moc is run on
+the file itself. Additionally, all header files are parsed for
+Q_OBJECT macros, and if found, moc is also executed on those files.
+The resulting moc files, which are not included as shown above in any
+of the source files are included in a generated
+<targetname>_automoc.cpp file, which is compiled as part of the
+target.This property is initialized by the value of the variable
+CMAKE_AUTOMOC if it is set when a target is created.
+
+Additional command line options for moc can be set via the
+AUTOMOC_MOC_OPTIONS property.
+
+By setting the CMAKE_AUTOMOC_RELAXED_MODE variable to TRUE the rules
+for searching the files which will be processed by moc can be relaxed.
+See the documentation for this variable for more details.
+
+The global property AUTOMOC_TARGETS_FOLDER can be used to group the
+automoc targets together in an IDE, e.g. in MSVS.
