FindCURL doesn't support using CURL_ROOT variable

Question

When I used GTest library on CMake, I could use GTEST_ROOT for finding root path of GTest. However, I cannot use CURL_ROOT to use curl, because FindCURL.cmake doesn't get the variable.

How can I do?

You may set `CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH` variable. See also [this question](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/34795816/hinting-findname-cmake-files-with-a-custom-directory). — Tsyvarev, Jan 16 '16 at 13:30

Use CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH variable. Also you may use semicolon(;) with multiple paths.

On script:

set (CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH C:/Libraries/gtest;C:/Libraries/curl)

find_package (GTest REQUIRED)
include_directories (${GTEST_INCLUDE_DIRS})
find_package (CURL REQUIRED)
include_directories (${CURL_INCLUDE_DIRS})

On console: cmake .. -DCMAKE_PREFIX_PATH=C:/Libraries/gtest;C:/Libraries/curl
