CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH ----------------- :ref:`;-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. By default this is empty. It is intended to be set by the project. See also :variable:`CMAKE_SYSTEM_PREFIX_PATH`, :variable:`CMAKE_INCLUDE_PATH`, :variable:`CMAKE_LIBRARY_PATH`, :variable:`CMAKE_PROGRAM_PATH`, and :variable:`CMAKE_IGNORE_PATH`.
