This looks wrong to me. In general CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH should contain only the base install directory of packages, and not point into the library dir etc. So it should more look something like this: set(CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH "${QT_PREFIX}") But actually this should be left to the user, since he knows where Qt is used (or is supposed to know). > CMakeCache.txt: > > //No help, variable specified on the command line. > CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH:PATH=/usr/pkg/qt5 > > So the problem was that CMakeLists.txt overwrote the command line. > Removing the set() line made things work Yes.

Ehm, doesn't testpath in the CMakeCache.txt have the contents of CMAKE_MODULE_PATH from the CMakeLists.txt ?
