This is absolutely normal. Since there is no default location on
windows where to put libraries, headers and source code a lot of the
time the cmake finders will fail. You can help out by either doing
what it says for the error "Please check the QT_QMAKE_EXECUTABLE
variable." or setting the QTDIR environment variable to point to the
root folder where you built Qt or installed it. You can also set some
of the root variables in your CMakeLists.txt see the documentation for
FIND_PACKAGE

cmake --help command FIND_PACKAGE
