Hi Benoit,<br><br>The documentation of <a href="http://www.cmake.org/cmake/help/cmake2.6docs.html#command:find_path">find_path</a> specifies the order in which paths are searched. If you want to force the /opt path to be searched first, you should maybe try<br>
<pre>find_path(&lt;VAR&gt; NAMES name PATHS ${NONSTANDARD_PATHS} NO_DEFAULT_PATH)<br>find_path(&lt;VAR&gt; NAMES name)<br></pre><div class="gmail_quote">This part is documented at the very end of the find_path doc.<br><br>

Hello,<br><br>I&#39;m having some trouble to use a cmake script correctly and i don&#39;t know why.<br>The cmake script come from the openCV library (you can find it here: <a href="http://opencv.willowgarage.com/wiki/Getting_started?action=AttachFile&amp;do=get&amp;target=FindOpenCV.cmake" target="_blank">http://opencv.willowgarage.com/wiki/Getting_started?action=AttachFile&amp;do=get&amp;target=FindOpenCV.cmake</a>) and it search for include and library files.<br>

<br>In this script you can setup the path where you want to look for these files, (or let the script search the default path).<br>The problem is that if i have to version of openCV (one in the default path and one in a special path), it alway select me the default path.<br>

<br>Here you have the important part of the script: <br><br>----------------------------------------------------- <br><br>MESSAGE(STATUS &quot;OpenCV_POSSIBLE_ROOT_DIRS=${OpenCV_POSSIBLE_ROOT_DIRS}&quot;)

<br>Does anyone know why the result of OpenCV_HIGHGUI_INCLUDE_DIR=/usr/include/opencv and not /opt/opencv/1.1.0/include/opencv <br>even if both files /opt/opencv/1.1.0/include/opencv/highgui.h and/usr/include/opencv/highgui.h  exist in my path.<br>
