in an :command:`include directory <target_include_directories>`).
Also it ensures that ``moc`` output files will compile correctly when the
source and/or build directory is a symbolic link.
- The ``moc`` path prefix generation behavior can be configured by setting
- the new :variable:`CMAKE_AUTOMOC_PATH_PREFIX` variable and/or
- :prop_tgt:`AUTOMOC_PATH_PREFIX` target property.
