I use mingw-w64-x86_64-cmake 3.10.2 on MSYS2. Generally it works well, but just recently I started to have problems with CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH. Its possible that the problems have been there forever, but I now just found them due to a better use of CI systems.
The problem is that cmake is not finding package configuration files correctly. I have such files in DESTDIR/lib/cmake, i.e. for a library XXX there are typically files XXXConfig.cmake, XXXConfigVersion.cmake and XXXTargets.cmake (i.e. for Qt, VTK and others). But they are not found when I specify CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH=DESTDIR/lib/cmake in Unix path style. It does work when I specify the package configuration directory in Windows style! This makes things quite confusing, because many find_xxx() commands for headers and libraries work with Unix paths. So now I need to use CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH=UNIXDESTDIR for the normal find_xxx(), but add WINDESTDIR\lib\cmake for the package configuration files (*). Is this an MSYS2 issue or a standard cmake issue? I reported it with MSYS2 here https://github.com/Alexpux/MINGW-packages/issues/3337 in case someone can comment? All the best, Mario Emmenlauer (*) UNIXDESTDIR is a shorthand of a path in Unix style, like /d/soft/ WINDESTDIR is a shorthand of a path in Windows style, like D:\soft\ -- BioDataAnalysis GmbH, Mario Emmenlauer Tel.
