CMAKE_SYSTEM_PREFIX_PATH — CMake 3.17.2 Documentation

# CMAKE_SYSTEM_PREFIX_PATH

Semicolon-separated list of directories specifying installation prefixes to be searched by the `find_package()`, `find_program()`, `find_library()`, `find_file()`, and `find_path()` commands. Each command will add appropriate subdirectories (like `bin`, `lib`, or `include`) as specified in its own documentation.

By default this contains the standard directories for the current system, the `CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX`, and the `CMAKE_STAGING_PREFIX`. The installation and staging prefixes may be excluded by setting the `CMAKE_FIND_NO_INSTALL_PREFIX` variable.

`CMAKE_SYSTEM_PREFIX_PATH` is not intended to be modified by the project; use `CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH` for this.

See also `CMAKE_SYSTEM_INCLUDE_PATH`, `CMAKE_SYSTEM_LIBRARY_PATH`, `CMAKE_SYSTEM_PROGRAM_PATH`, and `CMAKE_SYSTEM_IGNORE_PATH`.
