[CMake] Building a main.cpp containing a QObject subclass

[Laszlo Papp]

Hi,

I would like to achieve something like this by using cmake:
http://doc.qt.nokia.com/4.8/activeqt-comapp.html

I would like to have a QObject subclass in my main.cpp file since it
has just one method for instance, and thus it would be a convenient
approach for me.

This is my current CMakeLists.txt file:

[code]
cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 2.8)

include_directories(${CMAKE_CURRENT_SOURCE_DIR} ${CMAKE_CURRENT_BINARY_DIR})

find_package(Qt4)

#set(CMAKE_AUTOMOC ON)

set(test_SRCS
    main.cpp
)

qt4_automoc(${test_SRCS})

add_executable(test ${test_SRCS})
[/code]

This is my current main.cpp file:

[code]
#include <QtCore/QObject>

class MyClass : public QObject
{
    Q_OBJECT
}

#include "main.moc"

int main( int argc, char** argv )
{
    return 0;
}
[/code]

I have tried the following changes to this code in separate steps:

1) #include "moc_main.cpp", comment set(CMAKE_AUTOMOC ON), and
uncomment qt4_automoc and vica versa
2) set(CMAKE_AUTOMOC ON) without a comment character, and comment qt4_automoc

I am getting similar errors, like:
1) make[2]: *** No rule to make target `../main.h', needed by `main.moc'.  Stop.
2) /home/lpapp/Projects/kde/test/main.cpp:8:24: fatal error:
moc_main.cpp: No such file or directory
.. and so on

I was just reading about the qt4_wrapp_cpp as well, but I am really
unsure since I have no header file, just one cpp as in the official Qt
example. I would not like to change this construction, if possible. I
cannot use KDE macros since it is a pure Qt application.

Thank you for your help in advance!

Best Regards,
