+CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH
+-----------------
+
+Path used for searching by FIND_XXX(), with appropriate suffixes added.
+
+Specifies a path which will be used by the FIND_XXX() commands. It
+contains the "base" directories, the FIND_XXX() commands append
+appropriate subdirectories to the base directories. So FIND_PROGRAM()
+adds /bin to each of the directories in the path, FIND_LIBRARY()
+appends /lib to each of the directories, and FIND_PATH() and
+FIND_FILE() append /include . By default it is empty, it is intended
+to be set by the project. See also CMAKE_SYSTEM_PREFIX_PATH,
+CMAKE_INCLUDE_PATH, CMAKE_LIBRARY_PATH, CMAKE_PROGRAM_PATH.
