            Bug ID: 202831
           Summary: [cmake] Use HINTS instead of PATHS when searching in
                    paths from pkg-config
           Product: WebKit
           Version: WebKit Nightly Build
          Hardware: Unspecified
                OS: Unspecified
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: CMake
          Assignee: webkit-unassigned at lists.webkit.org
          Reporter: annulen at yandex.ru

HINTS and PATHS sections are similar, however HINTS is processed before default system locations, while PATHS - after. If target file can be found     in the system, pkg-config results are ignored in case of PATHS, making it impossible to override system version of library with PKG_CONFIG_PATH.

Note that CMake documentation recommends using PATHS for hard-coded guesses.
