# CMAKE_FIND_NO_INSTALL_PREFIX

Ignore the `CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX` when searching for assets.

CMake adds the `CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX` and the `CMAKE_STAGING_PREFIX` variable to the `CMAKE_SYSTEM_PREFIX_PATH` by default. This variable may be set on the command line to control that behavior.

Set `CMAKE_FIND_NO_INSTALL_PREFIX` to TRUE to tell find_package not to search in the `CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX` or `CMAKE_STAGING_PREFIX` by default. Note that the prefix may still be searched for other reasons, such as being the same prefix as the CMake installation, or for being a built-in system prefix.
