[CMake] How to find libraries with custom folder structure

[Stuermer, Michael SP/HZA-ZSEP]

Did you add the directory where your find script is in to the CMAKE_MODULE_PATH?

To verify your script is called, just add a "message("executing my module")" or so on top of your script, this always works very well for me when I'm not sure.

See here for more info about the CMAKE_MODULE_PATH:

best regards,
Michael
