Qt5 User Interface Compiler: -i option not available

I created a .ui file (myform.ui) using QtDesigner and I would like to create the corresponding header (myform.h) and implementation (myform.cpp) file.

Now I can create the header file (myform.h) with the following command on Linux:

uic mainwindow.ui -o mainwindow.h

An older answer on StackExchange (here) suggested using the following command to create the implementation file (myform.cpp):

uic -i mainwindow.h -o mainwindow.cpp mainwindow.ui

However, the command option -i doesn't seem to be supported by uic, I get the error message "unknown option -i".

Does anyone know how I can automatically generate the .cpp file from the .h and .ui file?

uic Version is 5.9.5

Only header files need to be generated, all the code (which is setupUi() and retranslateUi()) is inside the header generated by uic.
