Using

Watch out for tools/scripts that alter environmental variables (e.g. sudo) such as LD_LIBRARY_PATH, PKG_CONFIG_PATH
On Windows Katie_DIR must point to the cmake subdirectory of the Katie installation path (e.g. C:\Program Files\Katie\cmake) otherwise it will not be found by applications that use CMake and want to build against Katie
