Summary0016068: qt5 autorcc uses wrong output folder
DescriptionThe file qrc_Editor.cpp generated by the qt5 rcc compile step from Editor.qrc is put into CMAKE_BINARY_DIR/CMakeFiles/${target}.dir
where it cannot be found/referenced.
Files generated by automoc and autoui are put in CMAKE_BINARY_DIR, where they can be found.
Inside CMAKE_BINARY_DIR/CMakeFiles/${target}.dir there is another folder ${target}.dir/CMakeFiles/${target}.dir which contains qrc_Editor.cpp.o.
To me it looks like cmake start the rcc step with the wrong folder

Autogen: Generate qrc_NAME.cpp files in subdirectories

As far as the issue reported here, IIUC it shouldn't matter where the .cpp file goes because CMake compiles it and includes it in the link step for the target.

True, bug on our side: the generated *.cpp was source-included to enforce a dependency.
FWIW the qrc_ files still end up in a different folder than the other generated files, like e.g. ui*.h
