AUTORCC

Should the target be processed with autorcc (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.

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

The global property AUTOGEN_TARGETS_FOLDER can be used to group the autorcc targets together in an IDE, e.g. in MSVS.

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

See the cmake-qt(7) manual for more information on using CMake with Qt.
