I'm trying the following CMake code to setup the search paths for find_library(): set( search_path ${third_party} ) foreach( i RANGE 4 ) set( search_path ${search_path}/* ) list( APPEND CMAKE_INCLUDE_PATH ${search_path} ) list( APPEND CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH ${search_path} ) endforeach() However, this isn't working. I'm assuming wildcards work, which is why I am doing this. I read a thread somewhere on the cmake mailing list that said I could use wildcards this way. What am I doing wrong?
