simple answer: you can not do this.

The codeblocks projects generated by cmake are so called "makefile" projects. In this mode all settings within the ide are ignored and everything is taken from the makefile.

I do believe that the PATH system variable (as modified by Code::Blocks) is used; that is why I suggest changing the toolchain.
Because it is possible it is a PATH system variable related issue.

Try running cmake with CMAKE_CXX_COMPILER and CMAKE_C_COMPILER variables set instead of CC and CXX.
Another option is probably to use the envrionment variable plugin to set CC and CXX, but I don't think this is a good idea.
