AUTORCC

Should the target be processed with auto-rcc (for Qt projects).

AUTORCC is a boolean specifying whether CMake will handle the Qt rcc code generator automatically, i.e. without having to use the QT4_ADD_RESOURCES() or QT5_ADD_RESOURCES() macro. Currently Qt4 and Qt5 are supported.

When this property is ON, CMake will handle .qrc files added as target sources at build time and invoke rcc accordingly. This property is initialized by the value of the CMAKE_AUTORCC variable if it is set when a target is created.

By default AUTORCC is processed by a custom command. If the .qrc file is GENERATED, a custom target is used instead.

When there are multiple .qrc files with the same name, CMake will generate unspecified unique output file names for rcc. Therefore, if Q_INIT_RESOURCE() or Q_CLEANUP_RESOURCE() need to be used, the .qrc file name must be unique.

Modifiers

AUTORCC_EXECUTABLE: The rcc executable will be detected automatically, but can be forced to a certain binary by setting this target property.

AUTORCC_OPTIONS: Additional command line options for rcc can be set via this .qrc source file property.

SKIP_AUTORCC: .qrc files can be excluded from AUTORCC processing by setting this source file property.

SKIP_AUTOGEN: Source files can be excluded from AUTOMOC, AUTOUIC and AUTORCC processing by setting this source file property.

AUTOGEN_SOURCE_GROUP: This global property can be used to group files generated by AUTOMOC or AUTORCC together in an IDE, e.g. in MSVS.

AUTOGEN_TARGETS_FOLDER: This global property can be used to group AUTOMOC, AUTOUIC and AUTORCC targets together in an IDE, e.g. in MSVS.

CMAKE_GLOBAL_AUTORCC_TARGET: A global autorcc target that depends on all AUTORCC targets in the project will be generated when this variable is ON.
