qt-cmake.bat configures invalid compiler

      QTDIR\bin features qt-cmake.bat, which is a convenient alternative to configure your project. Anyhow, for some setups, this won't work:

      qt-cmake.bat -GNinja ..\src
[...]
cmake --build .
[...]

C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\2022\Professional\VC\Tools\MSVC\14.33.31629\include\yvals_core.h(635): fatal error C1189: #error:  STL1001: Unexpected compiler version, expected MSVC 19.32 or newer.

      What happens is that the compiler used to compile does not match the Windows SDK that is configured in the environment. And this is because the compiler path is hardcoded in the Qt installation, qt.toolchain.cmake:

          set(__qt_initial_c_compiler "C:/Program Files (x86)/Microsoft Visual Studio/2019/Professional/VC/Tools/MSVC/14.29.30133/bin/Hostx64/x64/cl.exe")
    set(__qt_initial_cxx_compiler "C:/Program Files (x86)/Microsoft Visual Studio/2019/Professional/VC/Tools/MSVC/14.29.30133/bin/Hostx64/x64/cl.exe")
    if(NOT DEFINED CMAKE_C_COMPILER AND EXISTS "${__qt_initial_c_compiler}")
        set(CMAKE_C_COMPILER "${__qt_initial_c_compiler}" CACHE STRING "")
    endif()
    if(NOT DEFINED CMAKE_CXX_COMPILER AND EXISTS "${__qt_initial_cxx_compiler}")
        set(CMAKE_CXX_COMPILER "${__qt_initial_cxx_compiler}" CACHE STRING "")
    endif()

      Because on my machine the original compiler exists, it is preferred over the default one in PATH, which would be:

      where cl.exe
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\2022\Professional\VC\Tools\MSVC\14.33.31629\bin\Hostx64\x64\cl.exe
