+AUTOMOC_PATH_PREFIX
+-------------------
+
+When this property is ``ON``, CMake will generate the ``-p`` path prefix
+option for ``moc`` on :prop_tgt:`AUTOMOC` enabled Qt targets.
+
+To generate the path prefix, CMake tests if the header compiled by ``moc``
+is in any of the target
+:command:`include directories <target_include_directories>`. 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). This ensures
+that

+- ``moc`` output files will compile correctly when the source and/or
