Adjust CMAKE_MODULE_PATH to find Findmylib.cmake or set mylib_DIR to the directory containing a CMake configuration file for mylib. The file will have one of the following names: mylibConfig.cmake mylib-config.cmake So, to my understanding, cmake will search the module at CMAKE_MODULE_PATH or at /usr/share/cmake-2.6/Modules/ Does it also search somewhere else such as: /usr/local/share/cmake-2.6/Modules ? I've tried this and apparently it doesn't search there... (maybe it searches somewhere else?) If cmake does not do this at all... would this be useful? I think so, personally... since usually it is common to install libraries/programs at /usr/local/...
