CMAKE_FIND_USE_CMAKE_PATH

.. versionadded:: 3.16

Controls the default behavior of the following commands for whether or not to search paths provided by cmake-specific cache variables:

  • :command:find_program
  • :command:find_library
  • :command:find_file
  • :command:find_path
  • :command:find_package

This is useful in cross-compiling environments.

By default this variable is not set, which is equivalent to it having a value of TRUE. Explicit options given to the above commands take precedence over this variable.

See also the :variable:CMAKE_FIND_USE_CMAKE_ENVIRONMENT_PATH, :variable:CMAKE_FIND_USE_CMAKE_SYSTEM_PATH, :variable:CMAKE_FIND_USE_SYSTEM_ENVIRONMENT_PATH, :variable:CMAKE_FIND_USE_SYSTEM_PACKAGE_REGISTRY, :variable:CMAKE_FIND_USE_PACKAGE_REGISTRY, and :variable:CMAKE_FIND_USE_PACKAGE_ROOT_PATH variables.
