Maybe I'm crazy here but I'm wondering if it might be less effort to either have automoc as an optional part of CMake (that only get installed if it finds Qt) or perhaps even try to modify qmake itself to make it more CMake-friendly (as Nokia seem pretty open to accepting patches now they are using Gitorious). Thoughts?

Sorry, I should have made it more clear, I've sent you that.

If I leave it as I've sent it to you it won't build. As you can see I've got a "#include(${QT_USE_FILE})" line, it's just commented out. If I comment out the "include_directories(${QT_QTCORE_INCLUDE_DIR} ${QT_QTGUI_INCLUDE_DIR})" line and instead uncomment the "#include(${QT_USE_FILE})" then it will then compile.
