Unfortunately this doesn't work. I should have mentioned that I'd already tried this. CMake looks for its installation directory as the very first thing and errors out if it can't be found, long before it gets around to parsing CMAKE_MODULE_PATH. Aha. I've looked at the code and it appears I can do what I want by setting the environment variable CMAKE_ROOT (not the cmake variable) before I start cmake. However, this doesn't really work for me either: the wrappers that set this variable are not used when cmake is invoked from the makefile, or whatever, and Failure Ensues. Attempts to forcibly override CMAKE_COMMAND, CMAKE_CPACK_COMMAND, and CMAKE_CTEST_COMMAND worked, but had their own problems. I did find a way to do what I want though, by rearranging my directories somewhat: tools/linux/bin/cmake (a wrapper that invokes the real program) tools/macosx/bin/cmake (wrapper) tools/windows/bin/cmake.bat (wrapper) tools/common/cmake/linux/cmake (real program) tools/common/cmake/macosx/cmake (real program) tools/common/cmake/windows/cmake.exe (real program) tools/common/cmake/Modules/... Ditto for ctest, cpack, etc. The reason for the wrappers is that I have lots of tools and I want to add just one directory to $PATH (tools/linux/bin for example) and get access to all the tools: I don't want to add a different directory for each tool. But I need each tool to be installed completely contained in its own subdirectory. Done this way I don't need to use CMAKE_ROOT or do anything differently; it all just works.
