I just moved a project I built in Qt5 into my CMake project tree. I exported the project in the CMake directory. However as I try to build the project the compiler gives me the following error: [src/GUIconceptStudy/CMakeFiles/GUIconceptStudy_automoc] Error 1
See also the following print screen attached:
Also the CMakeLists.txt files is below:
cmake_minimum_required (VERSION 3.1)
project(GUIconceptStudy)
set(CMAKE_AUTOMOC ON)
set(CMAKE_AUTORCC ON)
set(CMAKE_AUTOUIC ON)

After looking at different on-line sources I could't find anything particularly useful. Anyone who can shed a little bit of light on what the problem could be?
It's a shot in a dark but this is most likely caused by the missing set(CMAKE_INCLUDE_CURRENT_DIR ON)
. As said in the documentation it needs to be enabled because generated files are located outside of your source directory:
Generated moc_*.cpp and *.moc files are placed in the build directory so it is convenient to set the CMAKE_INCLUDE_CURRENT_DIR variable.
Another mistake I see people making is mixing Qt processing pipelines. I've mentioned this already in my other answers. As it says in documentation on AUTOUIC
property you shouldn't use qt5_wrap_ui
function when this property is enabled.
