The original intent of the snippet is to find the required tool chain
(On windows : arm-none-eabi-gcc.exe or armclang.exe; On Linix :
arm-none-eabi-gcc or armclang) path which can later be used to build
the project.
I have been trying with find_program and find_path commands.
My understanding was that it would find the program from root(which is
C: in Windows and / in Linux) and all the sub directories underneath
it but I learnt from your reply that it is not the case.
Can this be done? I mean, should it be possible to find the program
without hard coding the path ?
