# AUTOMOC_EXECUTABLE

New in version 3.14.

`AUTOMOC_EXECUTABLE` is file path pointing to the `moc` executable to use for `AUTOMOC` enabled files. Setting this property will make CMake skip the automatic detection of the `moc` binary as well as the sanity-tests normally run to ensure that the binary is available and working as expected.

Usually this property does not need to be set. Only consider this property if auto-detection of `moc` can not work – e.g. because you are building the `moc` binary as part of your project.

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