UIC successfully creates the ui_mainwindow.h file but it stores it in the build directory. This causes the compile time error 'ui_mainwindow.h: No such file or directory found'.
If I add the full path to the ui_mainwindow.h file in the build directory, cmake (catkin_make) successfully builds the project. Obviously I'd like to avoid using the absolute path to a header file in my source code.
The relevant parts of my CMakeLists:
set(CMAKE_AUTOMOC ON)
set(CMAKE_AUTORCC ON)
set(CMAKE_AUTOUIC ON)
find_package(Qt5 REQUIRED COMPONENTS Widgets Core )
add_executable(monitor src/mainwindow.cpp src/main.cpp src/mainwindow.ui)
qt5_use_modules(monitor Widgets)
target_link_libraries(monitor Qt5::Core Qt5::Widgets ${catkin_LIBRARIES} ${PCL_LIBRARIES} ${OpenCV_LIBRARIES} ${OpenCV_LIBS} )
How do I force UIC to build the ui_mainwindow.h file in my source directory. Or how do I include the cmake build directory in my CMakeLists.txt
I've tried
qt5_wrap_ui (monitor_UI src/mainwindow.ui OPTIONS -o 'ui_mainwindow.h')
add_executable(monitor src/mainwindow.cpp src/main.cpp ${monitor_UI})
with no success.
Based on hyde's comment, I simply added the build directory in the includepaths using
include_directories(
${CMAKE_CURRENT_BINARY_DIR}
)
which solved my problem.
