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. |
