Description
I have created a test project to show the problem, available here:
https://github.com/narnaud/qtc-cmake-error
Make sure to initialize the submodules:
git clone git@github.com:narnaud/qtc-cmake-error.git cd qtc-cmake-error git submodule update --init --recursive
This project is doing 3 things: building KSyntaxHighlighting, building a small project and running it at the end.
This project build fine on the console, or with VS Code or Visual Studio. When using Qt Creator, I have 2 main errors. Here is the log visible after 2-3 build, to remove everything that works:

2 errors:
- it can't create the qrc file for KSyntaxHighlighting
- it can't run the test_app
Most likely the same problem, as they both require to run a target that was compiled before.
It fails to run the test application during the build, because Qt Creator doesn't add the path to the Qt libraries to the Path in the build configuration (which is acceptable, QTCREATORBUG-19357).
But it also doesn't work when setting the Path correctly in the command prompt and starting Qt Creator from there. The PATH is overridden, though other environment variables from the command prompt do show up correctly in Qt Creator.
