        I'm using find_package in no-module mode with the PATHS option
        to provide a hard-coded guess to a path where a sublibrary
        'hmat' was previously found,
        and with the NO_DEFAULT_PATH to not find it first in system
        directories.
        find_package (HMAT REQUIRED NO_MODULE PATHS
        <hmat-prefix>/lib/cmake/hmat NO_DEFAULT_PATH)

        So far so good. Now I want to cross-compile with the usual
        toolchain file:
        set (CMAKE_FIND_ROOT_PATH /usr/i686-w64-mingw32)
        set (CMAKE_FIND_ROOT_PATH_MODE_PROGRAM NEVER)
        set (CMAKE_FIND_ROOT_PATH_MODE_LIBRARY ONLY)
        set (CMAKE_FIND_ROOT_PATH_MODE_INCLUDE ONLY)
        ...
        This works wonderfully too.

        But now I add CMAKE_FIND_ROOT_PATH_MODE_PACKAGE to ONLY in my
        toolchain file to prevent detecting native libraries
        set (CMAKE_FIND_ROOT_PATH_MODE_PACKAGE ONLY)
        And now find_package fails to find my package!

        I'm puzzled as I did not find in the doc something that
        explains why the PATHS is ignored (step #8 in find_package):
        
https://cmake.org/cmake/help/v3.5/command/find_package.html#command:find_package


    The given path "<hmat-prefix>/lib/cmake/hmat" is prefixed by the
    paths in CMAKE_FIND_ROOT_PATH.
    Which means that (given ONLY) cmake only looks for the package in
    "/usr/i686-w64-mingw32/<hmat-prefix>/lib/cmake/hmat".

    You might want to e.g. add <hmat-prefix> to CMAKE_FIND_ROOT_PATH
    and use PATHS / instead.

Thanks,

In my case <hmat-prefix> has the same value as CMAKE_FIND_ROOT_PATH, and even if I modify the PATHS option value to be relative (PATHS lib/cmake/hmat) the detection fails. (They're not actually set to /usr/i686-w64-mingw32 but some absolute location in my home where I unzip a mingw toolchain, but I can reproduce the issue on another box where the toolchain is natively /usr/i686-w64-mingw32).

I don't think behavior for relative paths is defined.

Use absolute paths like "/lib/cmake/hmat", just "/" probably works as well (since the path in the prefix matches "<prefix>/(lib/<arch>|lib|share)/cmake/<name>*/").
