[SOLVED] CMake find_package path to package

Issue

Is there a variable that stores the path to the found package similar to the package version?

find_package(name)
message("name version: ${name_VERSION}") #something like this but only for path to package?

Solution

If corresponded XXXConfig.cmake file has been found in find_package(XXX) call, then variable XXX_CONFIG contains absolute path to that file.

Also, there is CACHE variable XXX_DIR which contains directory with the file. Because this is a cached variable, its value can be found in CMakeCache.txt file after running cmake.

More about find_package behavior can be found in documentation.
