This is really a question for qt-interest (about developing WITH Qt), not
qt-devel (about developing FOR Qt).

It is clear from your output:

> C:\dev\workspace\algolist.v2

that you are using Windows, which does not use a standardized path
hierarchy. This problem does not occur on operating systems using the
Filesystem Hierarchy Standard (FHS). On Windows, you have to tell CMake
where to find the *Config.cmake files, and the error message tells you how
to do it:

so why are you even asking here? Your post contains the answer.
