CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH package not found

edit

Hello,

I've been stuck on an issue in my ROS project after I started using an overlay. I used to just place all of my packages inside /src/ros2/<my_package> . I am trying to move my project into an overlay to make it more modular.

I have reduced my problem to just two packages. Package 1 is named "qualified_msgs" and builds with no issues. My second package is "ros_can_bridge" and this depends on the "qualified_msgs" package. My build process is as follows:

1. Build qualified_msgs
2. source /install/local_setup.bash (this should place the qualified_msgs cmake files in the path)
3. Build ros_can_bridge

When I try to execute step I get the following error:

 CMake Error at CMakeLists.txt:20 (find_package):
  By not providing "Findqualified_msgs.cmake" in CMAKE_MODULE_PATH this
  project has asked CMake to find a package configuration file provided by
  "qualified_msgs", but CMake did not find one.

 Could not find a package configuration file provided by "qualified_msgs"
  with any of the following names:

   qualified_msgsConfig.cmake
   qualified_msgs-config.cmake

  Add the installation prefix of "qualified_msgs" to CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH or set
  "qualified_msgs_DIR" to a directory containing one of the above files.  If
 "qualified_msgs" provides a separate development package or SDK, be sure it
 has been installed.

Failed   <<< ros_can_bridge [ Exited with code 1 ]

However, If I view my build log I can see that this is in the path:

Portion of Log:

I can see that my CMAKE files are indeed in this directory:

Any advice on this would be appreciated, I'm pretty stuck!

Thanks,
