CMAKE_FIND_USE_INSTALL_PREFIXΒΆ

New in version 3.24.

Controls the default behavior of the following commands for whether or not to search the locations in the CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX and CMAKE_STAGING_PREFIX variables.

This is useful in cross-compiling environments.

Due to backwards compatibility with CMAKE_FIND_NO_INSTALL_PREFIX, the behavior of the find command change based on if this variable exists.

By default this variable is not defined. Explicit options given to the above commands take precedence over this variable.
