Generally, you set the CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH environment variable to contain the
path X:\Qt5. How is it finding qmake? Did you put X:\Qt5\bin in the PATH?

Set the environment variable, or create a wrapper script. I use a small script
which is called cmakekde for historical reasons, which does something like
cd $builddir && cmake $srcdir -DCMAKE_PREFIX_PATH=$PREFIX \
-DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=$PREFIX \
-DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=debug
The $PREFIX is managed by another script so that I have different prefixes for
different Qt versions and branches.
