| CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH |
| ----------------- |
| |
| .. include:: ENV_VAR.txt |
| |
| The ``CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH`` environment variable may be set to a list 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. |
| |
| This variable may hold a single prefix or a list of prefixes separated |
| by ``:`` on UNIX or ``;`` on Windows (the same as the ``PATH`` environment |
| variable convention on those platforms). |
| |
| See also the :variable:`CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH` CMake variable. |
