    Description

      I love Qt and Qt loves CMake.

      Inside my CMakeLists.txt I wrote

      project(myAppName LANGUAGES CXX DESCRIPTION "My good app" VERSION 1.2.3.4)
      

      I expect that setApplicationName will done automatically based on CMakeLists.txt The same for setApplicationVersion.

      But for now I need dirty hack. Inside CMakeLists.txt

      add_compile_definitions( -DMYPROJECT_NAME=${PROJECT_NAME} )
      

      Inside main.cpp

      #define Q(x) #x
      #define QUOTE(x) Q(x)
      QCoreApplication::setApplicationName(QUOTE(MYPROJECT_NAME));
      

      With dirty hack I can use ${PROJECT_NAME} from CMakeLists.txt for setApplicationName. I suggest Qt automatically load settings from CMakeLists.txt.
