Using CMake (was "fake Qt installation")
-
QBS is still not dead, it is now being actively developed by the open source community and has a many changes.
For QBS, it’s not a problem that CMake is the default Qt build system, it still supports in QtCreator. QBS is not only for Qt, but for everything else, especially for a bare metal programming (especially it is a best choose for a DIY projects, because it support a lot of architectures and toolchains).

Try QBS instead of CMake and do not suffer (if no any special requirements). In this case you don't need in this hard manipulations (with CMake you need in a custom toolchain file, in a separate Make or Ninja utilities and so on)...
PS: F.e. I use QBS with ESP8266 && non-os-sdk and all fine. :)
@kuzulis thank you for the suggestion. The application I've written makes full use of the ESP IDF, which I believe is exclusively CMake. I don't think converting the entire build system to QBS is the right way to go. I'll continue to plod ahead with the CMake effort, since it appears to be the wave of the future. I do appreciate the suggestion, though.
