Hello,

My app (https://github.com/aymara/lima) is built with cmake. It uses Qt5 and Boost libraries. I was able to setup a build but the configure fails with:

  -- Detecting CXX compile features
  -- Detecting CXX compile features - done
  System name is Windows
  Windows flags
  CMake Error at C:/projects/lima/manageQt5.cmake:40 (find_package):
    By not providing "FindQt5.cmake" in CMAKE_MODULE_PATH this project has
    asked CMake to find a package configuration file provided by "Qt5", but
    CMake did not find one.
  
    Could not find a package configuration file provided by "Qt5" with any of
    the following names:
  
      Qt5Config.cmake
      qt5-config.cmake
  
    Add the installation prefix of "Qt5" to CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH or set "Qt5_DIR"
    to a directory containing one of the above files.  If "Qt5" provides a
    separate development package or SDK, be sure it has been installed.
  Call Stack (most recent call first):
    CMakeLists.txt:100 (addQt5Modules)
  ```

What should I do to let cmake  find the installed Qt5 ?

   I was able to make cmake find Qt5. But now it fails on boost. It finds the header but not the libs.

   Have you tried RDP to build worker for troubleshooting the issue: http://www.appveyor.com/docs/how-to/rdp-to-build-worker ?

   Using RDP helped to track down the problem.

   Current appveyor.yml file (https://github.com/aymara/lima/blob/master/appveyor.yml) allows to build both C++ subprojects.

   This can be marked as solved.

   Thank you
