[CMake] Alternative to CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH

[Nikita Barawade]

Hi,

I set CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH in system's environment variable on windows but cmake does not check for it.
can we make cmake to search for system's environment variable as happens in Linux ?


Regards,
Nikita

A better alternative would be to use the command line switch -DCMAKE_PREFIX_PATH=<Qt install location> or similarly via CMake-GUI. Or you could also use the env var. See https://cmake.org/cmake/help/v3.3/command/find_package.html?highlight=cmake_prefix_path for search order.

Hi,

My project needs Qt5   .

Adding
find_package (Qt5Widgets)
to CMakeLists.txt  could not find Qt .

So I added,
set (CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH
"< Qt installation  path>")

It is working fine now. But is there any alternative to find qt5 package  without  hardcoding  CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH ?

Regards,
Nikita
