c++ - How to place header and ui file in different folders using autouic in cmake

Question

According to the documentation, regarding autouic:

If a preprocessor #include directive is found which matches ui_.h, and a .ui file exists, then uic will be executed to generate the appropriate file.

But what if the .ui file is in another folder? I currently get the following error when trying to build:

AUTOUIC : error : process for ui_module.h failed:
File 'C:/app/source/headers/module.ui' is not valid

The ui file is actually located here:

C:/app/source/forms/module.ui

I've tried to add the C:/app/source/forms/ to the include_directories()-macro without success. Any ideas?

Answer 1

Issue mentioned in this answer is now resolved.

This worked in CMake v3.9.0-rc6:

set(CMAKE_AUTOUIC_SEARCH_PATHS your/folder/here)

See documentation of AUTOUIC_SEARCH_PATHS.
