Thank you Brad, I wasn't setting CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH because it didn't
show up by default in the list of cache variables after generating. I
added it manually and it just worked. At first all I was doing was
enabling QT dialog in config, regenerating, and then changed the path
that it wanted for qtmake.exe. When I pointed it at qtmake for Qt5, it
complained about requiring Qt4.
