If so, CMake will +compute the relative path accordingly. If the header is not in the +:command:`include directories <target_include_directories>`, CMake will omit +the ``-p`` path prefix option. ``moc`` usually generates a +relative include path in that case. + +:prop_tgt:`AUTOMOC_PATH_PREFIX` is initialized from the variable +:variable:`CMAKE_AUTOMOC_PATH_PREFIX`, which is ``ON`` by default. + +See the :manual:`cmake-qt(7)` manual for more information on using CMake +with Qt. + +Reproducible builds +^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ + +For reproducible builds is is recommended to keep headers that are ``moc`` +compiled in one of the target +:command:`include directories <target_include_directories>` and set +:prop_tgt:`AUTOMOC_PATH_PREFIX` to ``ON`` (which is the default).
