| 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. | |
