So for the specific case you ask about, FindCURL.cmake, you would set the following advanced variables during ccmake / CMakeSetup configure through the cmake GUI:<div>CURL_INCLUDE_DIR</div><div>CURL_LIBRARY</div><div><br class="webkit-block-placeholder">
</div><div>Then, with those set, the next FIND_PACKAGE(CURL) will "find" CURL because you've told it exactly where it is.</div><div><br class="webkit-block-placeholder"></div><div>If you do it all with cmake without a GUI, then you would specify those variables on the first cmake command line with -D.
</div><div><br class="webkit-block-placeholder"></div><div><br class="webkit-block-placeholder"></div><div>Does that help?</div><div>David</div><div><br class="webkit-block-placeholder"></div><div><br><br><div><span class="gmail_quote">
