The only settings that creator wants to manage are:
QT_QMAKE_EXECUTABLE,
CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH,
CMAKE_C_COMPILER and
CMAKE_CXX_COMPILER

It does so in Tools>Options>Build & Run>Kits>CMake Configuration and makes these
variables point to the toolchains and Qt version you selected for the kit.

CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX is not found in the Creator sources.

If there is CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX set in the Kit's CMake Configuration, then it
was not creator that put it there.

No idea, sorry. I do not know where that setting comes from in your setup. It is
definitely not set in mine.

Best Regards,
