\title qt5_wrap_cpp
\brief Creates \c{.moc} files from sources.
\section1 Synopsis
\badcode
qt5_wrap_cpp(<VAR> src_file1 [src_file2 ...]
[TARGET target]
[OPTIONS ...]
[DEPENDS ...])
\endcode
\section1 Description
Creates rules for calling \l{moc}{Meta-Object Compiler (moc)} on the given
source files. For each input file, an output file is generated in the build
directory. The paths of the generated files are added to\c{<VAR>}.
\note This is a low-level macro. See the \l{CMake AUTOMOC Documentation} for a
more convenient way to let source files be processed with \c{moc}.
\section1 Options
You can set an explicit \c{TARGET}. This will make sure that the target
properties \c{INCLUDE_DIRECTORIES} and \c{COMPILE_DEFINITIONS} are also used
when scanning the source files with \c{moc}.
You can set additional \c{OPTIONS} that should be added to the \c{moc} calls.
You can find possible options in the \l{moc}{moc documentation}.
\c{DEPENDS} allows you to add additional dependencies for recreation of the
generated files. This is useful when the sources have implicit dependencies,
like code for a Qt plugin that includes a \c{.json} file using the
Q_PLUGIN_METADATA() macro.

\title qt5_add_resources
\brief Compiles binary resources into source code.
\section1 Synopsis
\badcode
qt5_add_resources(<VAR> file1.qrc [file2.qrc ...]
[OPTIONS ...])
\endcode
\section1 Description
Creates source code from Qt resource files using the
\l{Resource Compiler (rcc)}. Paths to the generated source files are added to
\c{<VAR>}.
\note This is a low-level macro. See the \l{CMake AUTORCC Documentation} for a
more convenient way to let Qt resource files be processed with \c{rcc}.
For embedding bigger resources, see \l qt5_add_big_resources.
\section1 Arguments
You can set additional \c{OPTIONS} that should be added to the \c{rcc} calls.
You can find possible options in the \l{rcc}{rcc documentation}.

\title qt5_add_big_resources
\brief Compiles big binary resources into object code.
\section1 Synopsis
\badcode
qt5_add_big_resources(<VAR> file1.qrc [file2.qrc ...]
[OPTIONS ...])
\endcode
\section1 Description
Creates compiled object files from Qt resource files using the
\l{Resource Compiler (rcc)}. Paths to the generated files are added to
\c{<VAR>}.
This is similar to \l qt5_add_resources, but directly generates object
files (\c .o, \c .obj) files instead of C++ source code. This allows to
embed bigger resources, where compiling to C++ sources and then to
binaries would be too time consuming or memory intensive.
\section1 Arguments
You can set additional \c{OPTIONS} that should be added to the \c{rcc} calls.
You can find possible options in the \l{rcc}{rcc documentation}.

\title qt5_add_binary_resources
\brief Creates an \c{RCC} file from a list of Qt resource files.
\section1 Synopsis
\badcode
qt5_add_binary_resources(target file1.qrc [file2.qrc ...]
[DESTINATION ...]
[OPTIONS ...])
\endcode
\section1 Description
Adds a custom \c target that compiles Qt resource files into a binary \c{.rcc}
file.
\section1 Arguments
\c{DESTINATION} sets the path of the generated \c{.rcc} file. The default is
\c{${CMAKE_CURRENT_BINARY_DIR}/${target}.rcc}.
You can set additional \c{OPTIONS} that should be added to the \c{rcc} calls.
You can find possible options in the \l{rcc}{rcc documentation}.

\title qt5_generate_moc
\brief Calls moc on an input file.
\section1 Synopsis
\badcode
qt5_generate_moc(src_file dest_file
[TARGET target])
\endcode
\section1 Description
Creates a rule to call the \l{moc}{Meta-Object Compiler (moc)} on \c src_file
and store the output in \c dest_file.
\note This is a low-level macro. See the \l{CMake AUTOMOC Documentation} for a
more convenient way to let source files be processed with \c{moc}.
\l qt5_wrap_cpp is also similar, but automatically generates a temporary file
path for you.
\section1 Arguments
You can set an explicit \c{TARGET}. This will make sure that the target
properties \c{INCLUDE_DIRECTORIES} and \c{COMPILE_DEFINITIONS} are also used
when scanning the source files with \c{moc}.
