| 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. | |
| There is also an environment variable :envvar:`CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH`, which is used | |
| as an additional list of search prefixes. | |
| See also :variable:`CMAKE_SYSTEM_PREFIX_PATH`, :variable:`CMAKE_INCLUDE_PATH`, | |
| :variable:`CMAKE_LIBRARY_PATH`, :variable:`CMAKE_PROGRAM_PATH`, and | |
| :variable:`CMAKE_IGNORE_PATH`. |
