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 :variable:`CMAKE_AUTORCC` +variable if it is set when a target is created. + +Additional command line options for rcc can be set via the +:prop_sf:`AUTORCC_OPTIONS` source file property on the ``.qrc`` file. + +The global property :prop_gbl:`AUTOGEN_TARGETS_FOLDER` can be used to group +the autorcc targets together in an IDE, e.g. in MSVS. + +The global property :prop_gbl:`AUTOGEN_SOURCE_GROUP` can be used to group +files generated by :prop_tgt:`AUTORCC` 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. + +Source files can be excluded from :prop_tgt:`AUTORCC` processing by +enabling :prop_sf:`SKIP_AUTORCC` or the broader :prop_sf:`SKIP_AUTOGEN`. + +See the :manual:`cmake-qt(7)` manual for more information on using CMake +with Qt. |
