NAME

       cmake-qt - CMake Qt Features Reference

INTRODUCTION

       CMake  can  find  and  use  Qt  4 and Qt 5 libraries.  The Qt 4 libraries are found by the
       FindQt4 find-module shipped with CMake,  whereas  the  Qt  5  libraries  are  found  using
       "Config-file Packages" shipped with Qt 5. See cmake-packages(7) for more information about
       CMake packages, and see the Qt cmake manual for your Qt version.

       Qt 4 and Qt 5 may be used together in the same CMake buildsystem:

          cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 3.0.0 FATAL_ERROR)

          project(Qt4And5)

          set(CMAKE_AUTOMOC ON)
          set(CMAKE_INCLUDE_CURRENT_DIR ON)

          find_package(Qt5Widgets REQUIRED)
          add_executable(publisher publisher.cpp)
          target_link_libraries(publisher Qt5::Widgets Qt5::DBus)

          find_package(Qt4 REQUIRED)
          add_executable(subscriber subscriber.cpp)
          target_link_libraries(subscriber Qt4::QtGui Qt4::QtDBus)

       A CMake target may not link to both Qt 4 and Qt 5.  A diagnostic  is  issued  if  this  is
       attempted or results from transitive target dependency evaluation.

QT BUILD TOOLS

       Qt  relies  on  some  bundled  tools for code generation, such as moc for meta-object code
       generation, uic for widget layout and population, and rcc for virtual  filesystem  content
       generation.   These  tools  may  be  automatically  invoked by cmake(1) if the appropriate
       conditions are met.  The automatic tool invocation may be used with both Qt 4 and Qt 5.

       The tools are executed as part of a synthesized custom target generated by CMake.   Target
       dependencies   may   be   added   to   that   custom   target   by   adding  them  to  the
       AUTOGEN_TARGET_DEPENDS target property.

   AUTOMOC
       The AUTOMOC target property controls whether cmake(1) inspects the C++ files in the target
       to  determine  if  they  require  moc to be run, and to create rules to execute moc at the
       appropriate time.

       If a Q_OBJECT or Q_GADGET macro is found in a header file, moc will be run  on  the  file.
       The result will be put into a file named according to moc_<basename>.cpp.  If the macro is
       found in a C++ implementation file, the moc output will be put into a file named according
       to <basename>.moc, following the Qt conventions.  The moc file may be included by the user
       in the C++ implementation file with a preprocessor #include.  If it is not so included, it
       will be added to a separate file which is compiled into the target.

       The  moc  command line will consume the COMPILE_DEFINITIONS and INCLUDE_DIRECTORIES target
       properties from the target it  is  being  invoked  for,  and  for  the  appropriate  build
       configuration.

       Generated  moc_*.cpp and *.moc files are placed in the build directory so it is convenient
       to set the CMAKE_INCLUDE_CURRENT_DIR variable.  The AUTOMOC target property may be pre-set
       for  all following targets by setting the CMAKE_AUTOMOC variable.  The AUTOMOC_MOC_OPTIONS
       target  property   may   be   populated   to   set   options   to   pass   to   moc.   The
       CMAKE_AUTOMOC_MOC_OPTIONS  variable  may  be  populated  to  pre-set  the  options for all
       following targets.

   AUTOUIC
       The AUTOUIC target property controls whether cmake(1) inspects the C++ files in the target
       to  determine  if  they  require  uic to be run, and to create rules to execute uic at the
       appropriate time.

       If a preprocessor #include  directive  is  found  which  matches  ui_<basename>.h,  and  a
       <basename>.ui file exists, then uic will be executed to generate the appropriate file.

       Generated  ui_*.h  files  are placed in the build directory so it is convenient to set the
       CMAKE_INCLUDE_CURRENT_DIR variable.  The AUTOUIC target property may be  pre-set  for  all
       following  targets  by  setting  the  CMAKE_AUTOUIC  variable.  The AUTOUIC_OPTIONS target
       property may be populated to set  options  to  pass  to  uic.   The  CMAKE_AUTOUIC_OPTIONS
       variable  may  be  populated  to  pre-set  the  options  for  all  following targets.  The
       AUTOUIC_OPTIONS source file  property  may  be  set  on  the  <basename>.ui  file  to  set
       particular  options  for the file.  This overrides options from the AUTOUIC_OPTIONS target
       property.

       A target may populate the INTERFACE_AUTOUIC_OPTIONS  target  property  with  options  that
       should be used when invoking uic.  This must be consistent with the AUTOUIC_OPTIONS target
       property content of the depender target.  The CMAKE_DEBUG_TARGET_PROPERTIES  variable  may
       be  used  to track the origin target of such INTERFACE_AUTOUIC_OPTIONS.  This means that a
       library which provides an alternative translation system for Qt may specify options  which
       should be used when running uic:

          add_library(KI18n klocalizedstring.cpp)
          target_link_libraries(KI18n Qt5::Core)

          # KI18n uses the tr2i18n() function instead of tr().  That function is
          # declared in the klocalizedstring.h header.
          set(autouic_options
            -tr tr2i18n
            -include klocalizedstring.h
          )

          set_property(TARGET KI18n APPEND PROPERTY
            INTERFACE_AUTOUIC_OPTIONS ${autouic_options}
          )

       A  consuming  project  linking  to  the  target  exported from upstream automatically uses
       appropriate options when uic is run by AUTOUIC, as a result of linking with  the  IMPORTED
       target:

          set(CMAKE_AUTOUIC ON)
          # Uses a libwidget.ui file:
          add_library(LibWidget libwidget.cpp)
          target_link_libraries(LibWidget
            KF5::KI18n
            Qt5::Widgets
          )

   AUTORCC
       The  AUTORCC target property controls whether cmake(1) creates rules to execute rcc at the
       appropriate time on source files which have the suffix .qrc.

          add_executable(myexe main.cpp resource_file.qrc)

       The AUTORCC target property may be pre-set  for  all  following  targets  by  setting  the
       CMAKE_AUTORCC  variable.   The  AUTORCC_OPTIONS  target  property  may be populated to set
       options to pass to rcc.  The CMAKE_AUTORCC_OPTIONS variable may be  populated  to  pre-set
       the  options  for  all following targets.  The AUTORCC_OPTIONS source file property may be
       set on the <name>.qrc file to set particular options for the file.  This overrides options
       from the AUTORCC_OPTIONS target property.

QTMAIN.LIB ON WINDOWS

       The Qt 4 and 5 IMPORTED targets for the QtGui libraries specify that the qtmain.lib static
       library shipped with Qt will be  linked  by  all  dependent  executables  which  have  the
       WIN32_EXECUTABLE enabled.

       To  disable  this  behavior,  enable the Qt5_NO_LINK_QTMAIN target property for Qt 5 based
       targets or QT4_NO_LINK_QTMAIN target property for Qt 4 based targets.

          add_executable(myexe WIN32 main.cpp)
          target_link_libraries(myexe Qt4::QtGui)

          add_executable(myexe_no_qtmain WIN32 main_no_qtmain.cpp)
          set_property(TARGET main_no_qtmain PROPERTY QT4_NO_LINK_QTMAIN ON)
          target_link_libraries(main_no_qtmain Qt4::QtGui)
