But if you were using Qt then you would be using the Qt4 specific  
CMake macros for that.

set (MXADataViewer_MOC_HDRS Something.hpp)
# and finally this will run moc:
QT4_WRAP_CPP( MXADataViewer_MOC_SRCS ${MXADataViewer_MOC_HDRS} )

which will have the build system (what ever it is) run "moc" on the  
Something.hpp file to generate the moc_Something.cxx file and that  
resulting file will be compiled by the native build system.
