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
commands like QT4_ADD_RESOURCES()
, QT5_ADD_RESOURCES()
,
etc. Currently, Qt versions 4 to 6 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 target
property. The corresponding AUTORCC_OPTIONS
source file property
can be used to specify options to be applied only to a specific .qrc
file.
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
.

manual for more information on using CMake
with Qt.
