Using vcpkg for glm etc., cmake doesn't find the preinstalled Qt anymore

Hello,

for my project I need some dependencies. Some of them I installed using vcpkg (glm, glbinding, globjects), some via nuget (zlib, libpng) and others are preinstalled (Qt5).
The glbinding-Dependency is only offered via vcpkg. Since I use it, cmake is not able to find Qt anymore.
QT5_DIR is set correctly, I also tried using Qt5Core_DIR etc.

I followed this doc:
https://www.appveyor.com/docs/lang/cpp/
where it is said to use
cmake -DCMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE=c:/tools/vcpkg/scripts/buildsystems/vcpkg.cmake ...

I suspect that since I use that toolchain file, Qt5 (which is preinstalled) isn't found. But I never used toolchain files before, so that is just a wild guess.

Could you assist me in finding a way to make Cmake find the Qt files?

The appveyor.yml is attached.

   Addendum: The dependencies installed using nuget aren't found neither.

   Anne, I experienced similar issue with Boost.
   It was due to bug in vcpkg, see my story here
