OpenCV Environment variable changed - c++

I had my standalone installation of OpenCV on my Linux machine and it was running OK. I installed ROS (comes with its OpenCV) and today I cannot run my CMakeLists.txt in any of my OpenCV projects, getting the error of :
CMake Error at CMakeLists.txt:20 (find_package):
By not providing "FindOpenCV.cmake" in CMAKE_MODULE_PATH this project has
asked CMake to find a package configuration file provided by "OpenCV", but
CMake did not find one.
Could not find a package configuration file provided by "OpenCV" with any
of the following names:
OpenCVConfig.cmake
opencv-config.cmake
Add the installation prefix of "OpenCV" to CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH or set
"OpenCV_DIR" to a directory containing one of the above files. If "OpenCV"
provides a separate development package or SDK, be sure it has been
installed.
I am kinda sure this happened because some environment variable got changed however I don't know where to look at.
Could someone walk me through this?

Reinstalling OpenCV solved the problem for me, since it re-modified the Environment variable.

Where is OpenGLConfig.cmake located on mac?

I'm using OpenGL with a C++ project. When I run configure in cmake-gui I get the following error:
CMake Error at CMakeLists.txt:18 (find_package):
Could not find a package configuration file provided by "OpenGL" with any
of the following names:
OpenGLConfig.cmake
opengl-config.cmake
Add the installation prefix of "OpenGL" to CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH or set
"OpenGL_DIR" to a directory containing one of the above files. If "OpenGL"
provides a separate development package or SDK, be sure it has been
installed.
Presumably, I have to set the OpenGL_DIR value but I can't find where OpenGLConfig.cmake file is located on mac.

CMake Error at C:\Users\...\Desktop\imgwarp-opencv\imgwarp-opencv\src\CMakeLists.txt:2 (FIND_PACKAGE)

I am using Window 10, Visual Studio 2017. I have installed OpenCV properly and I can run some basic projects of C++ OpenCV that can be found around the internet.
I have also followed this video which shows How to Build Open Source Projects Using CMake and Visual Studio.
But, I can not run this project on my machine. I try File->Open->CMake to open the CMakeLists.txt which can be found in the downloaded repository, and I get this error:
CMake Error at C:\Users\Majid\Desktop\imgwarp-opencv\imgwarp-opencv\src\CMakeLists.txt:2 (FIND_PACKAGE):

provides a separate development package or SDK, be sure it has been
installed.
I think I must extract the downloaded opencv-4.0.1-vc14_vc15.exe file somewhere in the project folder and link the CMakeLists.txt file (which one?) to the OpenCVConfig.cmake which is in the extracted opencv. Or maybe not.
I have also CMake gui and if I should run it that way I will appreciate that you explain it that way instead of using Visual Studio File->Open->CMake. No matter how, any way that helps me run this project is welcome. Please explain it step by step.
In one line (forget all the above): What should I do to run this project properly?

Not found Eigen3_DIR when configuring a cmake project in Windows

I want to compile an open project, it needs Eigen3, I followed its guideline but stuck in this step:
"Set environment variable Eigen3_DIR to {YOUR_EIGEN3_DIRECTORY}/eigen3/cmake."
I have installed CMake gui and it printed following errors after configuration
Make Error at src/CMakeLists.txt:15 (find_package):
By not providing "FindEigen3.cmake" in CMAKE_MODULE_PATH this project has
asked CMake to find a package configuration file provided by "Eigen3", but

Add the installation prefix of "Eigen3" to CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH or set
"Eigen3_DIR" to a directory containing one of the above files. If "Eigen3"
provides a separate development package or SDK, be sure it has been
installed.
But I have downloaded Eigen3 from here, and set the Eigen3_DIR as follows
So what should I do to fix it? I am just a beginner in cmake.
I am assuming you are using Windows. You will need Visual Studio installed. You can use the community version. You will need to do the following:
Create a directory called "build" within your Eigen directory.
Go to the build directory and do "cmake ..". This will create Visual Studio projects.
Load the .sln using Visual Studio.
Build the solution.
Ensure that the project called INSTALL was built also.
This will create the Eigen3Config.cmake file in your install directory. In my case the install directory was "C:\Program Files(X86)\Eigen3. Use this to as the value for Eigen3_DIR variable.
By default Eigen does not come with the Eigen3Config.cmake file. You will see Eigen3Config.cmake.in file. This is used to build the Eigen3Config.cmake file.

Cmake error: by not providing "FindOpenCV.cmake" in CMAKE_MOUDLE_PATH

When I try to use cmake .., the Windows cmd points out an error:
CMake Error at CMakeLists.txt:15(find_package):
By not providing "FindOpenCV.cmake" in CMAKE_MOUDLE_PATH this project has
asked CMake to find a package configuration file provided by "OpenCV", but
CMake did not find one.
Could not find a package configuration file provided by "OpenCV" with any of
the following names:
OpenCVConfig.cmake

Add the installation prefix of "OpenCV" to CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH or set
"OpenCV_DIR" to a directory containing one of the above files. If "OpenCV"
provides a separate development package or SDK, be sure it has been installed.
And I have searched many possible solutions online but it doesnt work...
For example:
write in command line cmake -DCMAKE_PREFIX_PATH="C:\OpenCV" ..
but it seems cmd doesnt know DCMAKE at all...
or cmake -DOpenCV_DIR="C:\OpenCV\build\x86\vc10\lib" .. also doesnt work.
I am not sure if those solutions are in Linux or Windows, because my computer is windows7 system... I think the error has explained how to fix it, which is
Add the installation prefix of "OpenCV" to CAMKE_PREFIX_PATH or set "OpenCV_DIR" to a directory containing one of the above files.
but I don't know exactly how to write the command code...
Please give me some hint...
A quick solution might be to edit the CMakeLists.txt to include the path for the OpenCV_DIR variable by adding the following line before the find_package(OpenCV REQUIRED):
set("OpenCV_DIR" "C:\OpenCV\build\x86\vc10\lib")
Folder containing the OpenCVConfig.cmake can also be found by:
find / -name "OpenCVConfig.cmake"

Add the installation prefix of "Qt5Widgets" to CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH

I don't know a lot about cmake, I'm trying to build a client using cmake and Qt. Getting the following error:
CMake Error at alethzero/CMakeLists.txt:26 (find_package): By not
providing "FindQt5Widgets.cmake" in CMAKE_MODULE_PATH this project
has asked CMake to find a package configuration file provided by

Add the installation prefix of "Qt5Widgets" to CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH or

files. If "Qt5Widgets" provides a separate development package or

-- Configuring incomplete, errors occurred!
As far as I understand, I need to add the QT path to CMake. How do I do it? I have Qt installed in /home/user/Programs. All the explanations I find are "just do this or that". I need the exact Terminal commands so I can just learn how to do it in the future.
Thanks!
UPDATE: export CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH=/home/user/Programs did not help me.
Well, here you have a solution for Windows: How to find qt5 CMake module on windows
set (CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH "C:\\Qt\\Qt5.0.1\\5.0.1\\msvc2010\\")
For your environment, I think you will have to change the path where Qt is located...
Maybe this will help you:
https://github.com/Cockatrice/Cockatrice/issues/205
This is documented:
http://doc.qt.io/qt-5/cmake-manual.html
The easiest way to use CMake is to set the CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH
environment variable to the install prefix of Qt 5
Do this
export CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH=/home/user/Programs/<other_stuff>
where references the compiler etc, so that this complete path is valid:
/home/user/Programs/<other_stuff>/bin/qmake*
I needed this on my macOS after Qt installation with brew install qt5:
export CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH=/usr/local/Cellar/qt5/5.7.0/
For ubuntu:
cmake -DCMAKE_PREFIX_PATH=/home/ryan/Qt/5.11.2/gcc_64 ..
/home/ryan/Qt/ is the Qt installation root path
at an Ubuntu 16.04.4 LTS desktop the solution was
cmake .. -DMAKE_PREFIX_PATH=/usr/include/x86_64-linux-gnu/qt5
