To move to a related topic, the above URL has a tutorial example for the recommended support method which builds the helloworld target from main.cpp. It would be nice for Qt5 users to learn from that tutorial example by building it themselves, but that example is incomplete since no main.cpp (presumably Qt5-related) is provided (as far as I can discover). Any chance you could provide that simple example for developers like me who don't have a lot of Qt5 or C++ expertise but who just want to build other's Qt5-related work using the best CMake-related methods?
Hi Stephen: Further to this particular subtopic, a google search found me several qt hello world examples. The most prominent one does not work (it uses an ancient method which is no longer supported by Qt!), but I found that the one in <https://wiki.qt.io/Qt_for_Beginners> does work perfectly with the tutorial Qt5 cmake example. So I request you make that hello world routine (or something closely related) available at <http://doc.qt.io/qt-5/cmake-manual.html> to make that tutorial more self-contained. That said, there are no issues with setting macros in this simple hello world case so it doesn't help with the principal issue covered in my e-mail where I cannot seem to set the macros needed for automoc to work properly.
