Solved QtCreator fails on trivial hello-world CMakeLists.txt

Hi,
I'm trying to open a simple project with a trivial CMakeLists.txt, and get the following error:

The CMakeLists.txt is basically as simple as it can get:
cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 3.12.0) project(hw) # Find includes in corresponding build directories set(CMAKE_INCLUDE_CURRENT_DIR ON) # Instruct CMake to run moc automatically when needed set(CMAKE_AUTOMOC ON) # Create code from a list of Qt designer ui files set(CMAKE_AUTOUIC ON) # Find the QtWidgets library find_package(Qt5Widgets CONFIG REQUIRED) # Populate a CMake variable with the sources set(helloworld_SRCS MainWindow.ui MainWindow.cpp main.cpp ) # Tell CMake to create the hw executable add_executable(hw WIN32 ${helloworld_SRCS}) # Use the Widgets module from Qt 5 target_link_libraries(hw Qt5::Widgets)
I have played around with the CMake settings in "Kits=>Qt", and tried many different "Generator" and "Extra generator" settings.
Thank you very much for any help or hint.

I don't think you can continue here before https://forum.qt.io/topic/97693/qt-creator-4-8-not-detecting-vs-2017-in-kits is solved...

Indeed, solving the other problem made this one go away. Thanks!

Hi
I have the similar problem. I cannot build any simple application with CMake and MSVC.
CMake works with MinGW also there is no problem with compiling application with QMake and MSVC.
If I try to build new application with CMake I get an error:C:\apps\CMake\share\cmake-3.16\Modules\CMakeTestCXXCompiler.cmake:53: ошибка: The C++ compiler "C:/Program Files (x86)/Microsoft Visual Studio/2017/Community/VC/Tools/MSVC/14.16.27023/bin/HostX64/x64/cl.exe" is not able to compile a simple test program. It fails with the following output: Change Dir: C:/Users/Tasik/AppData/Local/Temp/QtCreator-CpgOkw/qtc-cmake-XePfArFD/CMakeFiles/CMakeTmp Run Build Command(s):jom /nologo cmTC_05580\fast && Can't find the file Generator: execution of make failed. Make command was: jom /nologo cmTC_05580\fast &&
I have both QtCreator copiled with MSVC x32 and MSVC x64 and there is no difference in behavior when compiling apps in this case... Here is the properties of the project.

I added path to the jom.exe (which in the C:\Qt\Tools\qtcreator-4.10.2\bin) to the Windows path variable and that problem was solved.
