No, I cannot, because CMake still tells me

        It is impossible to order the linker search path in such a way that libraries specified as full paths will be picked by the linker.
        Directories and libraries involved are:
        Directory: c:/lang/Qt/3.3.4/lib contains:
        Library: C:/lang/qt/3.3.4r/lib/qtmain.lib

        Directory: c:/lang/qt/3.3.4/lib contains:
        Library: C:/lang/qt/3.3.4r/lib/qtmain.lib

        Directory: c:/lang/qt/3.3.4r/lib contains:
        Library: C:/lang/qt/3.3.4/lib/qtmain.lib
