I’m trying to make a very basic Qt5 application using CMake on windows. I used the documentation of qt5 to use CMake, and my main.cpp file just contains a main function.<\/p>\n

My CMakeLists.txt is exactly :<\/p>\n

cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 2.8.9)\n\nproject(testproject)\n<\/code><\/pre>\n
EDIT solution<\/strong><\/p>\n
set (CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH \"C:\\\\Qt\\\\Qt5.0.1\\\\5.0.1\\\\msvc2010\\\\\")\n<\/code><\/pre>\n
end EDIT<\/strong><\/p>\n
# Find includes in corresponding build directories\nset(CMAKE_INCLUDE_CURRENT_DIR ON)\n# Instruct CMake to run moc automatically when needed.\nset(CMAKE_AUTOMOC ON)\n\n# Find the QtWidgets library\nfind_package(Qt5Widgets)\n\n# Tell CMake to create the helloworld executable\nadd_executable(helloworld hello.cpp)\n\n# Use the Widgets module from Qt 5.\nqt5_use_modules(helloworld Widgets)\n<\/code><\/pre>\n
When in MSysGit bash I enter `$ cmake -G”Visual Studio 11″<\/p>\n
I get this output:<\/p>\n
$ cmake -G\"Visual Studio 11\"\n-- The C compiler identification is MSVC 17.0.60204.1\n-- The CXX compiler identification is MSVC 17.0.60204.1\n-- Check for working C compiler using: Visual Studio 11\n-- Check for working C compiler using: Visual Studio 11 -- works\n-- Detecting C compiler ABI info\n-- Detecting C compiler ABI info - done\n-- Check for working CXX compiler using: Visual Studio 11\n-- Check for working CXX compiler using: Visual Studio 11 -- works\n-- Detecting CXX compiler ABI info\n-- Detecting CXX compiler ABI info - done\nCMake Warning at CMakeLists.txt:11 (find_package):\n  By not providing \"FindQt5Widgets.cmake\" in CMAKE_MODULE_PATH this project\n  has asked CMake to find a package configuration file provided by\n  \"Qt5Widgets\", but CMake did not find one.\n\n  Could not find a package configuration file provided by \"Qt5Widgets\" with\n  any of the following names:\n\n    Qt5WidgetsConfig.cmake\n    qt5widgets-config.cmake\n\n  Add the installation prefix of \"Qt5Widgets\" to CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH or set\n  \"Qt5Widgets_DIR\" to a directory containing one of the above files.

Do you have any ideas ?<\/p>\n
thank you in advance.<\/p>\n
