# AUTORCC

Should the target be processed with autorcc (for Qt projects).

`AUTORCC` is a boolean specifying whether CMake will handle the Qt `rcc` code generator automatically, i.e. without having to use the `QT4_ADD_RESOURCES()` 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 `CMAKE_AUTORCC` variable if it is set when a target is created.

Additional command line options for rcc can be set via the `AUTORCC_OPTIONS` source file property on the `.qrc` file.

The global property `AUTOGEN_TARGETS_FOLDER` can be used to group the autorcc targets together in an IDE, e.g. in MSVS.

See the `cmake-qt(7)` manual for more information on using CMake with Qt.
