The CMake variable CMAKE_FIND_ROOT_PATH specifies one or more directories to be prepended to all other search directories. This effectively "re-roots" the entire search under given locations. By default it is empty. The :variable:`CMAKE_SYSROOT` variable can also be used to specify exactly one directory to use as a prefix. Setting :variable:`CMAKE_SYSROOT` also has other effects. See the documentation for that variable for more. These variables are especially useful when cross-compiling to point to the root directory of the target environment and CMake will search there too. By default at first the directories listed in CMAKE_FIND_ROOT_PATH are searched, then the :variable:`CMAKE_SYSROOT` directory is searched, and then the non-rooted directories will be searched. The default behavior can be adjusted by setting |CMAKE_FIND_ROOT_PATH_MODE_XXX|. This behavior can be manually overridden on a per-call basis. By using CMAKE_FIND_ROOT_PATH_BOTH the search order will be as described above. If NO_CMAKE_FIND_ROOT_PATH is used then CMAKE_FIND_ROOT_PATH will not be used. If ONLY_CMAKE_FIND_ROOT_PATH is used then only the re-rooted directories will be searched.
