Anyone? I'll try rephrasing my question. I'm trying to build the cdrkit package using CMAKE_FIND_ROOT_PATH: SET(CMAKE_FIND_ROOT_PATH $ENV{STAGING_DIR}) SET(CMAKE_FIND_ROOT_PATH_MODE_PROGRAM NEVER) SET(CMAKE_FIND_ROOT_PATH_MODE_LIBRARY ONLY) SET(CMAKE_FIND_ROOT_PATH_MODE_INCLUDE ONLY) cdrkit attempts to find sys/capability.h using CHECK_INCLUDE_FILES. This fails, even though the header is in $STAGING_DIR/usr/include/sys/capability.h. So what is the Right Thing to do here? Change CHECK_INCLUDE_FILES to also look in CMAKE_FIND_ROOT_PATH or change the cdkit CMakeLists.txt file to use FIND_PATH instead? I guess the latter should be pretty easy, but I'd hate to give up on the idea that CMake packages can be truly re-rooted simply by using CMAKE_FIND_ROOT_PATH.
