• CMAKE_MODULE_PATH: Path to look for cmake modules to load.
Specifies a path to override the default seach path for CMake modules.
For example include commands will look in this path first for modules
to include.
Example follows
# Prepend my own path to look for modules.
set (CMAKE_MODULE_PATH MyOwnPath ${CMAKE_MODULE_PATH})

Dear CMake Developers,
This is a feature request: Additional directory for customized/
private CMake modules.
It is very convenient that CMake comes with a lot of preconfigured
modules per default. There are a lot of usable modules in CMake's
standard module directory like:
:/usr/share/cmake-2.6/Modules$ ls Find*
FindAVIFile.cmake FindosgGA.cmake
FindBLAS.cmake FindosgIntrospection.cmake
FindBoost.cmake FindosgManipulator.cmake
FindBZip2.cmake FindosgParticle.cmake
FindCABLE.cmake FindosgProducer.cmake
FindCups.cmake FindosgShadow.cmake
But sometimes it is necessary to add or override these Modules.
Adding a customized module to CMake's standard module directory is
possible, but I see a problem if CMake delivers an own version of
this modulein an updated package.
Overriding a customized module in CMake's standard module directory
is more tricky. If I want to switch between my customized module and
CMake's
module I have to backup files to do that. This is a source of a lot
of errors.
Is it possible that you add an additional directory for customized
modules where CMake is looking for modules? Modules in this
directory should be
treated with a higher priority than Modules in CMake's standard
module directory.
Best
Dominique
