Since I have gotten no response to my posts with this subject line, I assume automoc really is currently unsuitable for the case where the header that should be processed by moc is located in a different source-tree directory than the source file that includes that header. I temporarily worked around that issue with symlinks, but I then discovered that qt5_wrap_cpp produces exactly the same results as automoc (except for the identification of the header in its actual location as opposed to the symlink) and with no need for symlinks. So I have abandoned automoc and used a custom target that invokes qt5_wrap_cpp instead, and that has allowed me to complete my update to the PLplot build system so that it replaces qt5_use_modules calls with the modern recommended target_link_libraries method of setting up use of Qt5. And this change has also solved the issue of conflicts between plain and keyworded target_link_libraries calls that occurred with the qt5_use_modules based method. So I am now satisfied with the PLplot build-system update, but I think automoc would be preferable to custom targets involving qt5_wrap_cpp if the above deficiency with automoc could be solved, so I will be pursuing that question further on the cmake-devel list.
