I've following issue. I'm tring to use native mechanism build in CMake for cross compilation. I prepared following toolchain.cmake file:
set(CMAKE_SYSTEM_NAME Linux)
set(CMAKE_SYSTEM_PROCESSOR arm)
set(CMAKE_SYSROOT /tmp/filesystem)
set(tools /opt/gcc-linaro-arm-linux-gnueabihf-4.8-2014.04_linux/bin/arm-linux-gnueabihf)
set(CMAKE_C_COMPILER ${tools}-gcc)
set(CMAKE_CXX_COMPILER ${tools}-g++)
set(CMAKE_FIND_ROOT_PATH_MODE_PROGRAM NEVER)
set(CMAKE_FIND_ROOT_PATH_MODE_LIBRARY ONLY)
set(CMAKE_FIND_ROOT_PATH_MODE_INCLUDE ONLY)
set(CMAKE_FIND_ROOT_PATH_MODE_PACKAGE ONLY)
and in target CMakeList.txt is use:
set(CMAKE_AUTOMOC ON)
I expect that when I use CMAKE_FIND_ROOT_PATH_MODE_PROGRAM set to NEVER the CMake, according to documentation, will use moc from HOST:
If set to NEVER, then the roots in CMAKE_FIND_ROOT_PATH will be
ignored and only the host system root will be used.
However it still try to use moc from TARGET arm image rootfs.
I try to refind the moc executable like in first answer from this post: How to include a certain Qt installation using CMake? but with no luck.
I also try to set the QT_MOC_EXECUTABLE variable to proper path from HOST rootfs instead of TARGET one but also with no luck there. I event think that this variable isn't use by CMake when CMAKE_AUTOMOC is set to ON since after forcing change this cached variable cmake still use moc from TARGET rootfs.
Any ideas how to resolve this issue?
# EDIT 1
I found that the automoc generates such file in build folder:
CMakeFiles/*target_name*_automoc.dir/AutogenInfo.cmake
And in my case such variable is set to wrong path:
set(AM_QT_MOC_EXECUTABLE "/tmp/filesystem/usr/lib/arm-linux-gnueabihf/qt5/bin/moc")
should be:
set(AM_QT_MOC_EXECUTABLE "/usr/bin/moc")
I set AM_QT_MOC_EXECUTABLE to correct value in main CMakeList.txt but still after mentioned file is generated with wrong path from TARGET rootfs.

I finally found the solution thanks to this post: How can I use CMake's AUTOMOC feature with a custom Qt package?. As I assumed the QT_MOC_EXECUTABLE isn't use directly by AUTOMOC.
Before first qt find_package following lines must be added:
set(QT_MOC_EXECUTABLE /usr/bin/moc)
add_executable(Qt5::moc IMPORTED)
set_property(TARGET Qt5::moc PROPERTY IMPORTED_LOCATION ${QT_MOC_EXECUTABLE})
The issue here was that not only the variable QT_MOC_EXECUTABLE has to be set to proper value but finally the automoc uses just Qt5:moc target which must be declared before any qt package will be included in CMakeList.txt file.
This same issue is with other qt tools so more generic option will be:
file(GLOB Qt_bin /usr/bin)
find_program(QT_MOC_EXECUTABLE qt_moc moc PATHS ${Qt_bin})
add_executable(Qt5::moc IMPORTED)
set_property(TARGET Qt5::moc PROPERTY IMPORTED_LOCATION ${QT_MOC_EXECUTABLE})
