    Description

      CMake configure runs in an infinite loop when a project contains vcpkg.json.

      Steps to reproduce:

      • install vcpkg on your system and add it to the system PATH, vcpkg executable has to be on the system PATH, so QtCreator's auto-setup.cmake can find it
      • create cmake based shared library project
      • copy vcpkg.json into the project's root folder
      • open Project View and click Re-configure with Initial Parameters
      • until now is everything ok
      • now click Advanced to show advanced cmake properties and check CMAKE_VERBOSER_MAKEFILE ( it can be any other bool property and maybe also other type properties )
      • click Apply Configuration Changes and boom infinite loop, now you have to restart QtCreator or close project to stop it

      I have attached a simple example of the vcpkg.json file.

      It is only reproducible on Linux, now I have tried to reproduce it on Windows with msvc compiler and it works well.

      But on Windows exists a similar problem with cmake infinite loop, I'm going to create an issue for that too.

      Compiler used was gcc 10.3
