# qt_finalize_project

Handles various common platform-specific tasks associated with a Qt project.

Note: This command is in technology preview and may change in future releases.

The command is defined in the `Core` component of the `Qt6` package, which can be loaded like so:

     find_package(Qt6 REQUIRED COMPONENTS Core)

This command was introduced in Qt 6.3.

## Synopsis

     qt_finalize_project()

If versionless commands are disabled, use `qt6_finalize_project()` instead. It supports the same set of arguments as this command.

## Description

Some targets that are created using Qt commands require additional actions at the end of CMake configuring phase. Depending on the platform, the function typically:

- Walks the build tree.
- Resolves dependencies.
- Applies any extra deployment steps.

With CMake version 3.19 or later, you don't need to call this command since it consists of sub-commands that are ordinarily invoked at the end of `CMAKE_SOURCE_DIR` directory scope processing.

Warning: If your Android project is built using a CMake version lower than 3.19, make sure that you call qt6_finalize_project() at the end of a top-level CMakeLists.txt.

### Examples

For projects that use a CMake version lower than 3.19, you need to call `qt_finalize_project` manually. This example shows the typical use of the function:

     cmake_minimum_required(VERSIONS 3.16)

     project(MyProject LANGUAGES CXX)

     find_package(Qt6 REQUIRED COMPONENTS Core)

     qt_add_executable(MyApp main.cpp)
     add_subdirectory(mylib)

     qt_finalize_project()
