[Qt-creator] Qt Creator not loading CMake project

[Davide Coppola]

I tried to start Qt Creator from the command line and unfortunately that
didn't make any difference.

I dug a little in the output panel in Qt Creator and I can confirm the
problem is definitely the missing entries in CMakeCache.txt

In particular for the first module CMake is complaining that an xxx_DIR is
not set and that variable is indeed missing in the cache file.
I yet don't understand how this is possible considering that I am not
passing any special flag to cmake when I run it from the command line.
