It means it is trying to use "Qt::moc" which is an IMPORTED executable 
defined by the Qt5 configuration files rather than the QT_MOC_EXECUTABLE 
variable.

It is setup with code similar to:
     add_executable(Qt5::moc IMPORTED)

     set_target_properties(Qt5::moc PROPERTIES
         IMPORTED_LOCATION "/path/to/moc"
     )

For a smoother experience I'd use find_package() (and CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH) 
for local builds as well rather than trying to mimic the behavior of the 
configuration files.
