Did you try adding a PROJECT call to every lib's CMakeLists.txt file?
Then run make -G ... on the top-level CmakeLists.txt file.

It's in the FAQ why this is not a good idea (well, you will miss some good 
features) and you are forced to deleted/move file that are currently not in 
use. Qmake never proposed this, either.
