How did I miss that skip button? Oh well. I may try that one out. Tried forcing the qt linking, ended up with an error other than 'qt not found' though.
CMake Error at /usr/local/lib/cmake/Qt5Core/Qt5CoreConfig.cmake:15 (message):
The imported target "Qt5::Core" references the file
"/usr/local/.//mkspecs/macx-clang"
but this file does not exist. Possible reasons include:
* The file was deleted, renamed, or moved to another location.
* An install or uninstall procedure did not complete successfully.
* The installation package was faulty and contained
"/usr/local/lib/cmake/Qt5Core/Qt5CoreConfigExtras.cmake"
but not all the files it references.

I will try the Qt installer version and see what happens, although I still suspect we'll need custom built libraries for a distributed build.
