hi
I am beginner to compiling.
I am facing the same problem but i want to compile smesh without conda. I downloaded the source core of occt and tried to put it in src and external but did not work. i also tried to search for the variable CMAKE_MODULE_PATH in the file CMakeLists.txt but did not find it.
i am using void linux and I was facing a lot of problems when tried to use salome so I thought that I can compile smesh because I only need smesh and geometry modules in salome.

i know that there is a similar issue #17 (comment)
but it is solved by using conda and I prefere not to use it. becouse I need a simple way of installing without the need to install a complete package manager just to install smesh
