Summary

0015631: CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH missing documentation for multiple paths list separator

Description

http://www.cmake.org/cmake/help/v3.2/variable/CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH.html [^]
This doesn't even mention the fact that it accepts multiple paths.
In practice it requires a cmake list, ie ";" as separator. This is not documented here.

Same for CMAKE_LIBRARY_PATH, CMAKE_INCLUDE_PATH, CMAKE_PROGRAM_PATH.

http://www.cmake.org/cmake/help/v3.2/command/find_path.html [^] & other hints that CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH is a list, but not for the others.

http://www.cmake.org/Wiki/CMake_Useful_Variables#Environment_Variables [^] is the only one documenting that they are lists, and that others than PREFIX are platform dependent lists (linux: with ":"), which hints that CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH is a cmake list with ";".
