| CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH |
| ----------------- |
| |
| :ref:`Semicolon-separated list <CMake Language Lists>` of directories specifying installation |
| *prefixes* to be searched by the :command:`find_package`, |
| :command:`find_program`, :command:`find_library`, :command:`find_file`, and |
| :command:`find_path` commands. Each command will add appropriate |
| subdirectories (like ``bin``, ``lib``, or ``include``) as specified in its own |
| documentation. |
| |
| By default this is empty. It is intended to be set by the project. |
| |
| See also :variable:`CMAKE_SYSTEM_PREFIX_PATH`, :variable:`CMAKE_INCLUDE_PATH`, |
| :variable:`CMAKE_LIBRARY_PATH`, :variable:`CMAKE_PROGRAM_PATH`, and |
| :variable:`CMAKE_IGNORE_PATH`. |
