| AUTORCC |
| ------- |
| |
| Should the target be processed with autorcc (for Qt projects). |
| |
| :prop_tgt:`AUTORCC` is a boolean specifying whether CMake will handle |
| the Qt ``rcc`` code generator automatically, i.e. without having to use |
| the :module:`QT4_ADD_RESOURCES() <FindQt4>` 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 :variable:`CMAKE_AUTORCC` |
| variable if it is set when a target is created. |
| |
| By default :prop_tgt:`AUTORCC` is processed inside a |
| :command:`custom command <add_custom_command>`. |
| If the ``.qrc`` file is :prop_sf:`GENERATED` though, a |
| :command:`custom target <add_custom_target>` is used instead. |
| |
| Additional command line options for rcc can be set via the |
| :prop_sf:`AUTORCC_OPTIONS` source file property on the ``.qrc`` file. |
| |
| The ``rcc`` executable will be detected automatically, but can be forced to |
| a certain binary using the :prop_tgt:`AUTORCC_EXECUTABLE` property. |
| |
| 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`. |
| |
| A global ``autorcc`` target that depends on all :prop_tgt:`AUTORCC` targets |
| in the project can be generated by enabling |
| :variable:`CMAKE_GLOBAL_AUTORCC_TARGET`. |
