Modifiers
^^^^^^^^^
:prop_tgt:`AUTORCC_EXECUTABLE`:
The ``rcc`` executable will be detected automatically, but can be forced to
a certain binary by setting this target property.
:prop_sf:`AUTORCC_OPTIONS`:
Additional command line options for ``rcc`` can be set via this ``.qrc``
source file property.
:prop_sf:`SKIP_AUTORCC`:
``.qrc`` files can be excluded from :prop_tgt:`AUTORCC` processing by
setting this source file property.
:prop_sf:`SKIP_AUTOGEN`:
Source files can be excluded from :prop_tgt:`AUTOMOC`,
:prop_tgt:`AUTOUIC` and :prop_tgt:`AUTORCC` processing by
setting this source file property.
:prop_gbl:`AUTOGEN_SOURCE_GROUP`:
This global property can be used to group files generated by
:prop_tgt:`AUTOMOC` or :prop_tgt:`AUTORCC` together in an IDE, e.g. in MSVS.
:prop_gbl:`AUTOGEN_TARGETS_FOLDER`:
This global property can be used to group :prop_tgt:`AUTOMOC`,
:prop_tgt:`AUTOUIC` and :prop_tgt:`AUTORCC` targets together in an IDE,
e.g. in MSVS.
:variable:`CMAKE_GLOBAL_AUTORCC_TARGET`:
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`.
in the project will be generated when this variable is ``ON``.
