Hi Andrea,

I've never seen that particular error, I'd look into cmake installation
and/or version.

The vast majority of QGIS C++ developers uses Qt Creator on a daily basis
on different platforms, what work for me here is:

Ubuntu xenial

QtCreator: 4.7.2 installed from https://www.qt.io/download
cmake version 3.10.2 self-built from sources
Qt 10.0.1 self-built from sources

Notice that none of the above was installed with apt, the main reason is
that xenial is a little bit old, but IIRC that was also to avoid some
problems in the integration of the different components.

I hope this helps.


Cheers
