For our project we set QT_BINARY_DIR which finds most of the Qt5XXX ones (it is defined in the FindQt5.cmake). We however also added the non-standard QT_LIBRARY_CMAKE_DIR to search for the Qt5XXXX when they are not installed in the default location (the default we put is ${QT_BINARY_DIR}/../lib/cmake/ but for instance on some linux installation they may be somewhere else).

Adding find_package (Qt5Widgets) to CMakeLists.txt could not find Qt . So I added, set (CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH "< Qt installation path>") It is working fine now. But is there any alternative to find qt5 package without hardcoding CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH ?
