CMake/Help/variable/CMAKE_SYSROOT.rst
Stephen Kelly 7cd65c97fa Add CMAKE_SYSROOT variable to set --sysroot when cross compiling.
As CMAKE_ROOT_FIND_PATH can be a list, a new CMAKE_SYSROOT is
introduced, which is never a list.

The contents of this variable is passed to supporting compilers
as --sysroot. It is also accounted for when processing implicit
link directories reported by the compiler, and when generating
RPATH information.

CMAKE_SYSROOT
-------------
Path to pass to the compiler in the ``--sysroot`` flag.
The ``CMAKE_SYSROOT`` content is passed to the compiler in the ``--sysroot``
flag, if supported. The path is also stripped from the RPATH/RUNPATH if
necessary on installation. The ``CMAKE_SYSROOT`` is also used to prefix
paths searched by the ``find_*`` commands.
This variable may only be set in a toolchain file specified by
the ``CMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE`` variable.
