Which kind of project are you trying to configure? This sounds like you 
are going for one of the qmake-based projects. Those will not work 
without a Qt version set since they require qmake which comes as a part 
of Qt installation. Most project wizards will use qmake since it is 
pretty simple to use and how many Qt apps are build.

"Non-Qt Project>* (CMake Build)" should work without Qt in a kit though.

It is, provided you do not use qmake as a build system.

Thanks!
