This should be taking the build environment, not the one Qt Creator runs in. But
you are right, the GenericProject seems to take the systemenvironment, which is
indeed wrong.

It should also use the MacroExpander in addition to/instead of the environment
IMHO. Would you care to write a patch to that end or open a bug report for me
about these two issues?

That needs the include paths from the project to include the Qt headers. Without
that it will not work.

I am indeed not aware of many people using the generic project manager.
